1. uon found a Lownhouse Lo lease. 1he landlord sald LhaL Lhe lnlLlal renL for Lhe
Lownhouse was hp 300, 000.00 a year and an addlLlonal hp 12, 000.00 a year per
parklng sloL.

A. WhaL are Lhe lndependenL (x) and dependenL (y) varlables ln Lhe problem?

1he Lwo (2) varlables ln Lhe problem are Lhe number of parklng sloLs uon would wanL Lo avall of,
and Lhe LoLal blll uon needs Lo pay. 1he lndependenL varlable (x) ls Lhe number of parklng sloLs,
whlle Lhe dependenL varlable ls Lhe amounL uon needs Lo pay (because Lhe amounL relles on Lhe
number of parklng sloLs uon would avall of).

8. 8epresenL Lhe problem ln an equaLlon.

Slnce Lhe x ls relaLed Lo Lhe number of parklng sloLs uon would avall of, lL ls connecLed Lo hp
12, 000.00 (whlch ls Lhe slope as lL lncreases Lhe value of y per addlLlonal x). hp 300, 000.00 ls
consldered Lhe y-lnL. because lL ls LhaL whlch ls consLanL. 1he equaLlon would be:

y = 12, 000x + 300, 000

C. WhaL ls Lhe y-lnL. ln Lhe problem? WhaL does lL mean?

1he y-lnL. ln Lhe problem ls 300, 000 - Lhls ls Lhe amounL uon would have Lo pay regardless of
Lhe number of parklng sloLs he would avall of.

C. Pow much would uon have Lo pay ln a year lf he leased Lhe Lownhouse and
wanLed Lo avall of Lwo (2) parklng sloLs?

ln Lhls case, one would [usL need Lo subsLlLuLe 2 Lo x, so lL would be:

y = 12, 000 (2) + 300, 000 = 24, 000 + 300, 000 = 324, 000

uon would Lhen have Lo pay hp 324, 000.00 a year lf he avalled of Lwo (2) parklng sloLs.

u. Pow much would uon have Lo pay per monLh lf he leased Lhe Lownhouse and
wanLed Lo avall of flve (3) parklng sloLs?

We have Lo Lake noLe LhaL Lhe problem ls asklng how much money would uon need Lo pay 2%&
3/"45. So Lhe flrsL Lhlng one can do ls Lo geL Lhe amounL one has Lo pay ln LoLal for Lhe lease
wlLh flve (3) parklng sloLs a year. 1haL would be:

y = 12, 000 (3) + 300, 000 = 60, 000 + 300, 000 = 360, 000

AfLer one geLs LhaL, one slmply needs Lo dlvlde lL by 12 because lL ls on a monLhly basls.

So, lL would be:

360, 000 / 12 = 30, 000

uon would have Lo pay hp 30, 000.00 a monLh Lo avall of LhaL case.

2. krlsLlne and ulana are sLudy buddles. krlsLlne's house ls 10 km. away from ulana's.
krlsLlne walks aL a pace of 200 meLers a mlnuLe whlle ulana walks aL 300 meLers a
mlnuLe. Cn Mondays, 1uesdays, and Wednesdays, krlsLlne goes Lo ulana's house. Cn
1hursdays and lrldays, ulana ls Lhe one who goes Lo krlsLlne's house.

A. WhaL are Lhe lndependenL (x) and dependenL (y) varlables ln Lhe problem?

1he Lwo varlables ln Lhls problem are Lhe dlsLance covered, and Lhe number of mlnuLes covered
(Llme). 1he lndependenL varlable (x) ls Lhe number of mlnuLes whlle Lhe dependenL varlable (y)
ls Lhe dlsLance covered per mlnuLe.

8. 8epresenL Lhe raLe of krlsLlne's walklng pace when golng Lo ulana's.

WhaL we know ls LhaL krlsLlne walks aL 200 meLers a mlnuLe. We converL 200 meLers Lo km.,
LhaL would be 0.2 km (or
1
/
3
km.). 1hls ls Lhe slope of Lhe equaLlon, buL lL slmply ls noL LhaL, lL ls
supposed Lo be negaLlve because lL ls decreaslng Lhe dlsLance lnsLead of lncreaslng lL. We know
b (y-lnL.) ls 10 km. because lL ls Lhe consLanL dlsLance LhaL needs Lo be covered. So, we have:

m - -0.2
b - 10

y = -0.2x + 10

8. 8epresenL Lhe raLe of ulana's walklng pace when golng Lo krlsLlne's.

We know LhaL ulana walks aL 300 meLers a mlnuLe. lf we converLed Lhls Lo km., lL would be 0.3
km (or
3
/
10
km.). 1hls ls Lhe slope and Lhe y-lnL. ls consLanL and same as Lhe above, so:

m - -0.3
b - 10

y = -0.3x + 10

C. WhaL ls Lhe y-lnL.? WhaL does lL mean for Lhe problem?

1he y-lnL. ln Lhe problem ls 10 km. - lL ls Lhe LoLal dlsLance beLween krlsLlne and ulana's houses,
lL ls someLhlng consLanL.

u. Pow long does lL Lake krlsLlne Lo geL Lo ulana's house?

1o geL Lhls, we would say LhaL Lhe dlsLance ls 0, so we make y 0 (Lhls ls Lhe same as geLLlng Lhe
zero or Lhe x-lnL.).

-0.2x + 10 = 0
-0.2x = -10
0.2x = 10
x = 30

So lL would Lake krlsLlne 30 mlnuLes Lo walk Lo ulana's house.

L. Pow long does lL Lake ulana Lo geL Lo krlsLlne's house?

Same as u., we would make Lhe dlsLance 0, buL Lhls Llme around use Lhe equaLlon represenLlng
ulana's walklng pace.

-0.3x + 10 = 0
-0.3x = -10
0.3x = 10
x = 33.33 (
100
/
3
)

So lL Lakes roughly 33.33 mlnuLes for ulana Lo geL Lo krlsLlne's house.

3. Mel declded LhaL ln, addlLlon Lo her allowance, she would need Lo save more money so
she could geL Cne ulrecLlon concerL LlckeLs. Per mom glves her hp 1, 000.00 a week,
whlle her dad glves her hp 300.00 a week. She declded Lo sell chocolaLe cupcakes aL
hp 30.00 each. She noLlced LhaL each cupcake cosLs hp 13.00 Lo make. She as well
needs Lo renL baklng maLerlals for hp 100.00 a week. lL ls AugusL 01, 2014 for her and
Lhe concerL ls exacLly a year from Lhere, AugusL 01, 2013, Lhe LlckeLs cosLs hp 18,
000.00.

A. WhaL are Lhe lndependenL (x) and dependenL (y) varlables ln Lhe problem?

1he Lwo varlables ln Lhe problem are Lhe money Mel wlll geL, and Lhe number of cupcakes. 1he
lndependenL varlable (x) ls Lhe number of cupcakes, whlle Lhe dependenL varlable (y) ls Lhe
amounL of money Mel geLs.

8. 8epresenL Lhe cosL funcLlon ln Lhe problem.

WhaL we know of Lhe money Mel spends ls LhaL per cupcake, she spends hp 13.00 and she has
Lo pay hp 100.00 a monLh for renLals. 1he y-lnL. here ls hp 100.00 because no maLLer Lhe
number of cupcakes she makes, she needs Lo pay Lhe consLanL hp 100.00. So Lhe equaLlon
would be:

y = 13x + 100

C. 8epresenL Lhe revenue funcLlon ln Lhe problem.

Mel geLs a sLable hp 1, 300.00 from her parenLs (comblnlng whaL her dad and mom glve her) a
week, and she geLs pald hp 30.00 per cupcake. 1he equaLlon would Lhen be:

y = 30x + 1, 300

u. 8epresenL Lhe proflL funcLlon ln Lhe problem.

8ecall: 8evenue - CosL = roflL

1he same applles for revenue, cosL, and proflL funcLlons.

We slmply subLracL Lhe cosL funcLlon from Lhe revenue funcLlon Lo geL Lhe proflL funcLlon, LhaL
would be:

(30x + 1, 300) - (13x + 100) = 30x + 1, 300 - 13x - 100 = 33x + 1, 400

So Lhe proflL funcLlon would be:

y = 33x + 1, 400

L. lf for a whole week, a man boughL 30 cupcakes from her, how much money
would Mel geL lf she does noL Lake lnLo accounL cosLs yeL?

We have Lo noLe LhaL Lhls ls noL conslderlng cosLs yeL, so LhaL means we slmply use Lhe revenue
funcLlon and we subsLlLuLe x wlLh 30.

y = 30 (30) + 1, 300 = 2, 300 + 1, 300 = 4, 000

Mel geLs hp 4, 000.00 ln LoLal (noL conslderlng cosLs) for Lhls scenarlo.

l. Pow much money would Mel spend ln a monLh lf she sold 20 cupcakes a week?

Slnce Lhls ls [usL asklng for Lhe money Mel wlll spend, we [usL use Lhe cosL funcLlon. We Lake
noLe LhaL lL ls asklng for a whole monLh when 20 cupcakes are sold ln a week. WhaL we can do ls
solve flrsL how much money would Mel need Lo spend ln a week, so LhaL would be:

y = 13 (20) + 100 = 300 + 100 = 400

Slnce LhaL ls per week and we are asked 2%& 3/"45, we mulLlply LhaL by four (4).

400 (4) = 1, 600

So ln LhaL monLh, Mel would have Lo spend hp 1, 600.00.

C. lf Mel sold 20 cupcakes a monLh, how much money would she make?

Slnce Lhls ls asklng for Lhe money Mel makes, lL ls asklng for Lhe proflL and so one has Lo use Lhe
proflL funcLlon and subsLlLuLe 20 Lo x. (We agaln noLe LhaL lL ls asklng per monLh, so we mulLlply
Lhe flnal answer by 4)

y = 33 (20) + 1, 400 = 700 + 1, 400 = 2, 100

2, 100 (4) = 8, 400

Mel would proflL hp 8, 400.00 for LhaL monLh.

P. WhaL ls Lhe mlnlmum number of cupcakes Mel needs Lo sell a monLh so she
could avall of Lhe concerL LlckeLs ln Llme?

WhaL ls belng asked here ls Lhe number of cupcakes Mel needs Lo sell ln a monLh Lo exacLly geL
Lhe hp 18, 000.00 for Lhe LlckeL. WhaL we do ls we make y lnLo 18, 000 and solve for x, so:

18, 000 = 33x + 1, 400
18, 000 - 1, 400 = 33x
16, 600 = 33x
x = 474.29

8uL slnce you can'L see a parL of a cupcake, you round up, Lhus, ln LoLal, Mel would need Lo sell
473 cupcakes. 8uL slnce we are belng asked per monLh, we dlvlde Lhls LoLal by 12.

473 / 12 = 39.38

So roughly 40 cupcakes a monLh ls Lhe number Mel needs Lo sell.
