The number cc of pieces of candy remaining in the bag is a function of ss, the number of snacks Tyrone eats. Write the function's formula.

Answer 1

Answer:

Function's formula : $c = 150-8s$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that He takes 8 pieces of candy from the bag each time he snacks.

We are also given that he ate 18 snacks .

So, candies he ate in 18 snacks = 18* 8 = 144 candies

Since we are also given that after eating 18 snacks , 6 candies are remaining .

So, total no. of candies initially = 144+6 =150

Now, let The number of pieces of candy remaining in the bag be 'c'  is a function of  the number of snacks Tyrone eats i.e. 's'

Since we are given that in each snack he takes 8 pieces of candies ,

So, in s snacks , candies will be eaten by him = 8s

Total no. of candies = 150

So, remaining candies 'c' = 150 -8s

Function's formula : $c = 150-8s$
