Answer 1

Answer:

The expressions for the payment made to Mary are,

(Monday) 90 = 15m + b

(Tuesday) 62 = 8m + b

where m and b are the fee per student and the base fee, respectively. Solving for m and b, the values are 4 and 30.

The equation that represents Mary's earning is

y = 4x + 30

For 20 students,

y = 4(20) + 30 = 110

For Lisa's earnings,

y = 8x + 15

Substituting 20,

y =8(20) + 15 = 175

Thus, Lisa would earn more than Mary by $65.
