Answer:
Note!! if someone else answers, their answer is probably correct. I don't know functions that well. also, I'm assuming here that Samuel and Gordon are the same person.
Gordon/Samuel pays: 3690$
independent variable: the amount of TVs you buy
dependent variable: the cost for each tv
function: f(x) = 1200x + 90
solve the function: hopefully someone else can answer this!
if I made a mistake or misunderstood something, please let me know!
