I answered this once so this is I'm my opinion
Hoped it helped you
I think it depends on the college, you should check the colleges your interested in websites and it might say it there somewhere
The questions aren’t the same for everyone, it always changes so to be safe don’t just study 2019 questions, but the star test should be easy
Answer:
f(x)= 50+4.25x
g(x)= 40+6.25x
(5, 71.25)
Explanation:
they are asking for the number of garmets and price of those garmets where both shops charge the same amount
if you make the two shops prices into equations you will be trying to find the line intercept
to make the lines equations
they said f(x) is cleaning company 1
g(x) is cleaning company 2
and x in the number of garmets cleaned
you can see from prices that the price does not start at 0 it has a baseline price to clean
that baseline price is the +____
113.75-92.50 to find the difference in price for 5 garmets
=21.25
21.25/5 to find raise in price per 1 garmet
=4.25
now we know its 4.25x+b
baseline price = b
to find b plug in the values on the chart (first row)
4.25(5)+b=71.25
21.25+b=71.25
b=50
baseline price = 50
store 1 price is= f(x)= 50+4.25x
im gonna run out of space ill do the second one short
103.75-72.5=31.25
31.25/5=6.25
71.25=6.25(5)+x
71.25-31.25=x
x= 40= base price
g(x)= 40+6.25x
find intersection
g(x) =y
f(x) = y
y=y
therefore
50+4.25x=40+6.25x
10+4.25x=6.25x
10+4.25x=6.25x
10=2x
x=5
to find y intersection put in x to equation
y= 50+4.25x
y= 50+4.25(5)
y=50+21.25
y=71.25
intersection is (5, 71.25)
Answer:
3.1 because you round the numbers to the nearest .1 spot if its .5 or above then it goes to the next whole number
