Answer:

The German shepherd eats 14 × 15 = 210  ounces per week.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jo has a gerbil and a German Shepherd. The German Shepherd eats 14 times as much as the gerbil. Altogether they eat 225 ounces of dry food per week.

let gerbil eat a ounces of food

Gerbil eats = a

shepherd eats = 14 × a

Altogether they ate 225 ounces per week , The expression can be written as

a + 14 × a = 225

a + 14a = 225

15a = 225

divide both sides by 15

a = 225/15

a = 15

The German shepherd eats 14 × 15 = 210  ounces per week.

Fun park charges an entry fee of $2 for any family with less than 5 members. The park charges $3 less than the number of family
RideAnS [48]

A piecewise function is a function that behaves differently in different intervals.

Here the piecewise function is:

f(x) = $2     if    x < 5  

f(x) = x - $3  if   x ≥ 5

We know that:

"Fun park charges an entry fee of $2 for any family with less than 5 members."

"The park charges $3 less than the number of family members for the entry of any family with 5 or more members."

If we define x as the number of members of a family, the function of the price will be:

f(x) = $2     if    x < 5 (the cost is $2 if the family has less than members)

f(x) = x - $3  if   x ≥ 5   (the cost if the family has 5 members or more)
