Question

The equation below represents how much money Addy makes delivering papers. In the equation p represents the number of papers delivered and d represents the money per paper delivered. D = .45p Create a context, a unit rate, and an equation for someone who delivers papers and makes more than both Addy and Rachel.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Step one:

we are given the equation for Addy And Rachel's earning as

`D =0.45p`-------------1

Step two:

Context creation

Say john earns $0.9 per paper he delivers, estimate how much he would earn to deliver 10 papers

let the amount earn be y and the number of papers delivered be x

the equation is

y=0.9x

for x=10

y=0.9(10)

y=$9

We can see that John's unit rate is more than Addy's unit rate
