Answer:

Let's think.

If we want the man to be in the best case scenario in which he loses the most pounds that his limit lets him, we should always make the man lose the highest he could go: 6 pounds.

This is just a simple multi step problem if you break it down.

If his goal is to get to 243 pounds, we firstly subtract 243 from 340 to see how much he needs to lose.

340 - 243 = 97

The man wants to lose 97 pounds.

Let's divide this number by 6 with remainder.

I'll let you think for a bit.

97 / 6 = 16 remainder 1.

This means that in 16 weeks, he needs to lose 6 pounds while on the 17th week, he needs to lose 1 pound.

I'm sorry if i misunderstood.

Good luck Mate :)

Vilka [71]

Complete question :

The local recreation center charges members a registration fee and a separate monthly membership fee. The equation of the function given models the total fee, f(x), in dollars, that a person pays for x months of membership.

f(x)=25x+50

What does the number 25 represent?

A. the initial registration fee

B. the number of months that a person is a member

C. the monthly membership fee

D. the total amount that a member pays in fees

Answer:

C. the monthly membership fee

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function :

f(x)=25x+50

The function f(x) can be written thus :

Cost = (monthly membership fee * Number of months) + initial registration fee

Comparing the function with the linear equation model:

y = mx + c

50 corresponds to c (intercept) which is the initial registration fee being charged.

m = slope = monthly fee paid

Hence, 25 represents the monthly fee paid
