Answer 1

Total Cost = 250 + 60x is the equation that models the given situation

Solution:

Given that, Linda's start up cost for her online jewelery store was $250

She has to pay an additional $60 per month to keep it running

To find: Equation that models this situation

From given,

Start up cost = $ 250

Let "x" be the number of months she keeps the store running

Additional pay per month = $ 60

Thus, the total cost Linda spend to keep the store running is given as:

Total Cost = Startup cost + (Additional pay per month)(number of months)

$Total\ Cost = 250 + 60x$

Thus the equation that models the given situation is found
