Question

A student is saving money to buy a microscope. The student currently has $50 and plans to save $15 every month. Write a function that represents the amount y (in dollars) of money that the student saves after x months.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The student currently has $50 and plans to save $15 every month.

Let x represent the number of months that the student will save enough money to buy the microscope.

Let y represent the amount that the student saves after x months.

The function that represents the amount y (in dollars) of money that the student saves after x months will be

y = 50 + 15x

The 50 remains constant because she has already saved it
