Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
let f(x) = y and rearrange making x the subject
y = ( multiply both sides by 7 to clear the fraction )
7y = x + 2 ( subtract 2 from both sides )
7y - 2 = x
Change y back into terms of x with x the inverse function, that is
p(x) = 7x - 2
Let the cost of one cup of hot chocolate be = x
Let the cost of one cup of hot tea be = y
Paul paid $ 25.50 for 3 cups of hot chocolate and 4 cups of tea.
Equation becomes = ...(1)
As given, the cost of each cup of tea was 2/3 the cost of each cup of hot chocolate.
.... (2)
Putting the value of y from (2) in (1)
=
=
=
x=4.5
=
y =3
Hence each cup of hot chocolate is $4.50
Each cup of tea is $3.
