For this case we can make the following rule of three: 1 box -------------> 15 paperweights x -------------------> 1269 paperweights We clear the value of x. We have then: x = (1269/15) * (1) x = 84.6 Rounding to the nearest whole: x = 85 Answer: There will be needed about: x = 85 boxes
You should do this on your own but if you consider the way I graph it, the slope should be going downwards and in the middle of the graph, the y-intercept should be two units down. Each unit for the x line should be 14 units apart as stated in the function.
