Question

Karen owns a seafood restaurant. She orders trout from an online retailer

Each pound of trout costs $30, and the company charges a $2 fee for
shipping the order. However, if Karen orders 10 or more pounds, the trout
costs only $24 per pound, but the shipping fee is $6.
Which piecewise function models the cost of x pounds of trout?
30x + 2, 0 < x < 10
24x + 6, I > 10
24x + 6, 0 < x < 10
30.2 + 2, 3 > 10
O A. f(x) = {
O B. f(x) = {
O c. f(x) = {
O D. f(x) = {
{
24x + 6, 0 < x < 10
30.3 + 2, > 10
30x + 2,0 < X < 10
24x + 6, x > 10​

Answer 1

Explanation:

In this problem we are required to provide the expression for the two scenarios highlighted

The first scenario is

"Each pound of trout costs $30, and the company charges a $2 fee for

shipping the order"

The expression for the above scenario is given as

30x + 2, 0 < x < 10

The second scenario is

"if Karen orders 10 or more pounds, the trout costs only $24 per pound, but the shipping fee is $6."

The expression for the second scenario is

24x + 6, x > 10
