Lucy is going to walk in a fundraising event to raise money for her school band. Her mother has agreed to donate $7.50 to the sc
hool for each mile that Lucy walks, plus an additional $25. What equation represents y, the total amount of money Lucy's mother will donate if Lucy walks x miles during the event?
From the question, we are informed that Lucy is going to walk in a fundraising event to raise money for her school band and her mother has agreed to donate $7.50 to the school for each mile that Lucy walks, plus an additional $25.
The equation that represents y, the total amount of money Lucy's mother will donate if Lucy walks x miles during the event will be:
= ($.750 × x) + $25
y = $7.50x + $25
Since Lucy walks x Mike's, we multiply x by $7.50 and then add the answer to the additional $25 which is the answer gotten above.
