Question

Use y=m(x)+b to solve for the problem.

The copy shop charges a $5 set-up fee for each copying job and $0.05 per page. 1. Jaylyn takes a 10-page report to the copy shop to be photocopied. How much will that job cost Jaylyn? It would cost Jaylyn (put the money sign in your answer or it will be wrong)

Answer 1

It will cost one dollar

Answer 2

it will cost jaylyn $5.50 to print her 10-page report.

y = 0.05x + 5, and we can substitute x for 10. there are ten pages, and each page costs 5 cents, so we multiply 0.05 x 10. the final answer is 0.5, and once we add the set-up fee ($5) the total is $5.5.

so, 5.5 = 0.05(10) + 5.
