Question

Students at a school will sell hats to raise money. There are some hats left over from last year, and 20 boxes of hats will be ordered this year. When the order arrives, the total number of hats the student will have can be determined using the function f(x) = 48x + 37, where x represents the number of boxes ordered. If the number of hats per box changes so that the situation is modeled by the function h(x) = 24x + 37, then how many fewer hats will the students have available to sell if they still order 20 boxes?
A)517

B)480

C)997

D)365

Answer 1

Answer:  A) 480

Step-by-step explanation:

x=20 substitute in the two equations

48(20)+37

24(20)+37

since the question said fewer , then you should subtract

48(20)+37 - 24(20)+37 = (960+37) - (480+37)

=923 - 443= 480
