Challenge A movie theater sends out a coupon for 35% off the price of a ticket. Write an equation
1 answer:
Answer:
The equation is y= 0,65 x
If x is the price of the ticket without the coupon, and the theater offers a discount if you have a coupon, then having a coupon means that the price a person ultimately pays (y) is the original price (x) minus a 35% of this price: y= x -0.35 x . By association: y= (1-0.35) x and then y= 0.65 x.
The line should be in the first quadrant because the first quadrant allows you to represent a situation in which the dependent variable (y) and the independent variable (x) are both positive. This is the case in this exercise, because both prices, the one without discount (x) and the one with discount (y) are necessary positive (you can not pay a negative price!).
Step-by-step explanation:
- The price without discount (or without the coupon) is x.
- The price with discount (or with coupon) is y.
- y and x are both related: y is a percentage of x, specifically, y is 35% smaller than x. This means that y =0.65 x.

, since she can't buy half a CD, she's limited to no more than 8 CDs. If x = the cost of one CD, then x CDs cost $18x. Since we are limited to $153, our equation looks like... 18x < 153x < 8 Again, since we can't buy half a CD, your answer should actually be... x ≤ 8 since we can buy 8 CDs or fewer.
