Answer 1

Answer:

part A : $4

part B : $16

Sue buys a certain brand of cereal that costs = $12 per box.

She changes to a super-saving brand of the same size.

The equation showing price y as a function of the number of boxes, x is for the new brand.

y = 8x

for x = 1, y = 8

So for 1 box super-saver cereal brand costs $8.00

Part A. - So saving per box = 12 - 8 = $4

Part B. - Money saved in 1 box = $4

Therefore, money saved in 4 boxes = 4 × 4 = $16
