Question

Lucy is going to walk in a fundraising event to raise money for her school band. Her mother has agreed to donate $7.50 to the school for each mile that Lucy walks, plus an additional $25.

What equation represents y, the total amount of money Lucy's mother will donate if Lucy walks x miles during the event?

Answer 1

Answer: y = $7.50x + $25

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Lucy is going to walk in a fundraising event to raise money for her school band and her mother has agreed to donate $7.50 to the school for each mile that Lucy walks, plus an additional $25.

The equation that represents y, the total amount of money Lucy's mother will donate if Lucy walks x miles during the event will be:

= ($.750 × x) + $25

y = $7.50x + $25

Since Lucy walks x Mike's, we multiply x by $7.50 and then add the answer to the additional $25 which is the answer gotten above.
