Question 1: Akira sells lemonade at 50 cents a glass. Let m be the amount of money they make in total for g glasses. Akira only has enough lemonade for 20 glasses.
A) Write a function m(g) to represent the total money (in dollars) they make from lemonade sales.
B) What is the domain of the function? Why?
Answer:
A) m(g) = 0.5g
This is since she makes 0.5 dollars per glass
B) The domain is where g is an integer. This is since it's impossible to make less than 0 glasses and they cannot make more than 20.
Question 2: Danyon sells CD's at $20 per CD. He has only 15 CD's left.
