Question

Granite counter tops cost $40 for every square foot. The base pay to install the counter top is $750. Set up a Linear Model representing the cost of buying this counter top

Answer 1

Answer: y = 40x + 750

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear model;

y = mx + c

y is the total cost of buying granite counter tops for a certain number of square foot as well as the cost to install the counter top.

m is the cost of granite counter tops per square foot which is $40 in this case.

x is the number of square feet required.

c is the base pay for the installation of the counter top which is $750

Linear model will therefore look like this;

y = 40x + 750

To test it. Assume you want enough granite tops for 10 square feet. How much would it cost;

= 40 (10) + 750

= $1,150
