To correctly graph this, you need to set up a simple equation and table of values. Luckily, this equation is dead-simple; I'll define <em>y</em> as the total cost and <em>x</em> as the number of water bottles sold.
Since 1.50$ is the cost for one bottle, multiplying that with your variable that defined the amount of bottles, <em>x</em>, gets you the total, <em>y</em>. Now that we have a basic equation, we can begin plugging in values.
Recall that a function is basically just something that takes in a value and returns another one; in our case, it takes the <em>amount of bottles</em> and returns the <em>total cost. </em>Now, plug in the x-values present on the graph (specifically only whole numbers, since you can't have a half bottle). I can't make a proper table but I'll make do.

Great, now that you have a table of values all you have to do is plug them into the graph, which I've attached. It's pretty crude since I drew it in mspaint but I'm sure you get the point at this point.
The table is missing, so i have attached it.
Also, the correct question is;
The surface area of the East China Sea is k times the surface area of the Baltic Sea.
Work out the value of k.
Give your answer to the nearest whole number
Answer:
k = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
From the attached table,
Surface area of east china = 1.25 × 10^(6) km²
Surface area of Baltic sea = 4.22 × 10^(5) km² = 0.422 × 10^(6) km²
We are told that the surface area of East China Sea is k times that of the surface area of the Baltic Sea.
Thus;
1.25 × 10^(6) = k × 0.422 × 10^(6)
k = 1.25/0.422
k = 2.96
Approximating to whole number gives;
k = 3
