If x is the number of berries you can buy with 1 dollar,
1 pound of blueberries = $4.00
x pound of berries = $1.00
Lets set up a proportion- because these are directly proportional- when there is more pounds of berries, it will cost more.
Cross multiply
4x=1
Divide both sides by 4 to isolate x
x=1/4 or $0.25
The function for the amount saved if they purchase a used drone rather than a new drone from Jim's store is f(x) = 0.45x
He sells used drones at 70% of the price (x).
So, the selling price of a used drone is:
Express percentage as decimal
Also, he sells new drones at 15% more of the price (x).
So, the selling price of a new drone is:
Express percentage as decimal
The amount saved is the difference between the prices of the drones.
So, we have:
This gives
Subtract
Express as a function
Hence, the function for the amount saved is f(x) = 0.45x
