Question

“A Wok in the Park” charges a $100 set-up fee plus $12.50 per person. “Chop Chop Catering” charges $15 dollars per person.

Write a equation in the form y=mx+b for both companies

Answer 1

y = $100 + $1.50x

y = $15x

Explanation:

Given that :

A Wok in the Park charges :

Setup fee =$100 ; per person = $12.50

Chop Chop Catering charges :

$15 per person

Writing equation for the amount charged by the 2 services in the form :

y = mx + c ;

A Wok in the Park ;

Setup fee =$100 = c = intercept ; per person = $12.50 = slope = m

y = $100 + $1.50x

Where x = number of persons. ; y = amount charged

Chop Chop Catering charges :

$15 per person

y = 0 + $15x

y = $15x

x = number of persons. ; y = amount charged ; intercept (c) = $0
