Question

Determine the rate of change and what the rate of change represents in this situation.

Answer 1

Answer:

The first answer is the one you want

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of change is the slope.  Here it is represented by the dollar value/number of tickets sold.  This will give you the 1:1 ratio, meaning it will give you the number of dollars generated by the sale of 1 ticket.  That's what rate of change is.

Use the slope formula and 2 points on the table.  I chose the points (225, 250) and (200, 0):

$\frac{0-250}{200-225} =\frac{-250}{-25} =10$

That translates to $10 per ticket.
