Answer:
9.75
Step-by-step explanation:
Why not write all of the numbers in decimal fraction form, to make them easier to compare?
68 2/3 = 68.666...
72 1/2 = 72.500
68 3/10 = 68.300
74 7/11 = 74.636...
68 1/2 = 68.500
550/8 = 68.750
Now ask yourself: Which of the last four numbers is between 68.666.. and 72.500?
Hi, seems like the answer is f(x) = x - 4
Edit: this was my original answer, but I was apparently completely out of my mind when I wrote it. The correct answer is f(x) = -4x + 50, as I stated below. I'm very sorry for any trouble I caused

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Total members = 14
Each member:
Peaches = 3
Pint of cream = 1
Cost
Peaches = x cent
Pint of cream = 46 cent
46 cent = $0.46
Cost per member = 3(x cent) + 0.46
= 3x cent + 0.46
Total cost for all members = 14(3x cent + 0.46)
= 42x cent + 6.44
