Question

the city pays students $50 per day to serve snow cones at the local summer festival. Analyze the potential earnings of a student who works the whole week of the festival if working partial days is not permitted. this situation can be modeled by the function f(x)=50x.What is a reasonable maximum value for the dependent variable? Explain how you arrived at your answer.

Answer 1

Given:

The per day earning $50

The function is

$f(x)=50x$

Find-:

The maximum value of earning

Explanation-:

The function is

$f(x)=50x$

Where,

$x=\text{ Number of days}$

The students work for a whole week.

$1\text{ week }=7\text{ Days}$

So the maximum value is

$\begin{gathered} f(x)=50x \\ \\ x=7 \\ \\ f(7)=50\times7 \\ \\ f(7)=350 \end{gathered}$

The maximum earning is $350
