<h3>Answer:   £17.20</h3>

=====================================================

Explanation:

x is some positive number such that the earnings of Paul, Collin, and Brian are 2x, 3x and 4x in that order

The ratio 2x:3x:4x reduces to 2:3:4 when we divide all parts by x

The total amount of tips was 77.40 pounds

This means,

(Paul's Share)+(Collin's Share)+(Brian's Share) = Total Tips

(2x)+(3x)+(4x) = 77.40

9x = 77.40

x = 77.40/9

x = 8.6

Use that x value to find each of their share of tips

  • Paul's Share = 2x = 2*8.6 = 17.20 pounds
  • Collin's Share = 3x = 3*8.6 = 25.80 pounds
  • Brian's Share = 4x = 4*8.6 = 34.40 pounds

As a check, note how 17.20+25.80+34.40 = 77.40

The last step is to subtract the values for Brian and Paul

34.40 - 17.20 = 17.20

Brian earned £17.20 more in tips compared to Paul.

An executive for the movie production company wants to create a function that models this data. . Create a function that can be
stich3 [128]

Functions can be modeled by equations, tables and graphs

  • The equation that models the function is y = \frac 14x  +1
  • The domain of the function is the set of whole numbers
  • The company should expect 4 box office gross in week 10

<h3>How to determine the function</h3>

From the question, we have the following ordered pairs

(x,y) = (0,1) and (4,2)

The function is a linear function.

So, we start by calculating the slope (m) using:

m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 -x_1}

Substitute known values

m = \frac{2 - 1}{4 - 0}

m = \frac{1}{4}

The equation is then calculated as:

y = m(x -x_1) +y_1

This gives

y = \frac 14(x -0) +1

y = \frac 14x  +1

The domain of the above function is the set of whole numbers

Substitute 10 for x, to calculate the number of box office gross for week 10

y = \frac 14 * 10 +1

y = 3.5

Approximate

y = 4

Hence, the company should expect 4 box office gross in week 10
