Question

What is a story that can be represented by the equation y=x+1/4x

Answer 1

Answer:

$y = x + \frac{1}{4} x$.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given an equation of x and y as, $y = x + \frac{1}{4} x$.

Now, we have to assume a situation that can be modeled by this above equation.

Let I deposit money in my piggy bank for two consecutive weeks.

In the first week, I deposit a certain amount of money and in the next week, I deposit $\frac{1}{4}$ of previous week's deposit.  

Now, we have to find the total amount of money that I have deposited.

If the total amount of money is y and the first week's deposit is x then we can write $y = x + \frac{1}{4} x$. (Answer)
