Question

I. The Bread Machine (25 points)

Answer 1

It would take 125 loaves at a cost of $200 for the breadmaker and store bought bread to cost the same.

Linear equation

A linear equation is in the form:

y = mx + b

where y, x are variables, m is the rate of change and b is the y intercept.

Let x represent the rate of cost of one loaf and y represent the total cost, hence:

y = 0.8x + 100

The rate of cost of one loaf is $0.8 and the start up cost is $100.

For the second bread it is given by:

y = 1.6x

The graph of the two equations cross at (125, 200)

It would take 125 loaves at a cost of $200 for the breadmaker and store bought bread to cost the same.
