Select ALL the correct answers.

Answer 1

The value of x will change because that is the price of the almonds

Therefore mx will change

And the value of mx+b will decrease because the price is cheaper

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct statements are :

1. The value of mx will change.

2. The value of m will change.

3. The value of mx+b will decrease.

Step-by-step explanation:

Todd needs x ounces of almonds, which are priced at m dollars per ounce in the baking section. So, price of x ounces becomes = mx

The total cost of the other ingredients is b dollars.

Hence, total cost is given as = $mx+b$

Now, Todd later finds almonds in the bulk section that are half the price of those in the baking section.

So, now price is :$\frac{m}{2}$

And total price for 'x' ounce will become: $\frac{mx}{2}+b$ dollars.

Therefore, if Todd purchases the almonds in the bulk section, the total cost  will decrease.

The correct statements are :

1. The value of mx will change.

2. The value of m will change.

3. The value of mx+b will decrease.
