Answer:

a. x = 600

b. y = 60

c. x = 150 and y = 45

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

0.25x + 2.50y = 150

Solving (a): The x intercept;

To do this; set y to 0

0.25x + 2.50y = 150

0.25x + 2.50 * 0 = 150

0.25x + 0 = 150

0.25x = 150

Solve for x

x = 150/0.25

x = 600

<em>This implies the amount spent on folders when no notebook was purchased</em>

Solving (b): The y intercept

To do this; set x to 0

0.25x + 2.50y = 150

0.25 * 0 + 2.50y = 150

0 + 2.50y = 150

2.50y = 150

Solve for y

y = 150/2.5

y = 60

<em>This implies the amount spent on notebooks when no folder was purchased</em>

Solving (c): Other values of x and y

This will be solved using trial by error method;

Set x = 150

Solve for y

0.25x + 2.50y = 150

0.25 * 150 + 2.50y = 150

37.5+ 2.50y = 150

Solve for 2.50y

2.50y = 150 - 37.5

2.50y = 112.5

Solve for y

y = 112.5/2.50

y = 45

Hence;

x = 150 and y = 45

<em>This implies that with the budget of $150, the teacher can afford to purchase 150 folders and 45 notebooks</em>
