Question

The math team has $25 in their account. The plan to see bags of fruit to add to their account. For every bag they sell, they get $5 added to their account. If y represents the dollar amount in their account and x represents the number of bags of fruit they sell, write an equation in slope-intercept form that represents this situation.

Answer 1

equation :y = 5x + 25

Explanation:

Initial money in Math team account = $25

money added to the team account for 1 bag of fruit sold = $5

given that

x represents the number of bags of fruit they sell

money added to the team account for x bag of fruit sold = x *money added to the team account for 1 bag of fruit sold

money added to the team account for x bag of fruit sold = x *$5 = $5x

Total money in Math team account = money added to the team account for x bag of fruit sold + Initial money in Math team account

Total money in Math team account = 5x + 25

Given that

y represents the dollar amount in their account

using y in place of Total money in Math team account

we have equation

y = 5x + 25

now we know that slope intercept form of equation is given by

y = mx + c

which is the same form as of our equation

thus , answer is

equation y = 5x + 25
