Question

PLEASE HELP. You are president of the high school band booster club. You have arranged for the school’s jazz band to perform at a local coffee shop for three hours. In exchange for the performance, the booster club will receive three-quarters of the shop’s gross receipts during that three-hour period. The equation y=0.75 relates the x (the independent variable representing the gross receipts) and y (the dependent variable representing the booster’s share).Using the graph below determine the booster’s share if the total gross receipts were $700.
a.
$933
b.
$900
c.
$525
d.
$950

Answer 1

A. Because all the question is saying is if Y were 700 then what would x be 700 divided by 3 is 233 so that times 4 is about 933

Answer 2

Answer:

Option C is correct

$525

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the statement:

You are president of the high school band booster club. You have arranged for the school’s jazz band to perform at a local coffee shop for three hours. In exchange for the performance, the booster club will receive three-quarters of the shop’s gross receipts during that three-hour period.

The equation $y = 0.75x$                 .....[1]

where,

y the dependent variable representing the booster’s share

x the independent variable representing the gross receipts

We have to find the booster’s share if the total gross receipts were $700

⇒x = $700

Substitute in [1] we have;

$y = 0.75 \cdot 700 = 525$

Therefore, $525 is the booster’s share
