Question

A kindergarten teacher bought $21 worth of stickers and cardstock for his class. The stickers cost $1.50 a sheet and the cardstock cost $3.50 per pack. The equation LaTeX: 1.5s+3.5c=21 represents the relationship between sheets of stickers, LaTeX: s, packs of cardstocks, LaTeX: c, and the dollar amount a kindergarten teacher spent on these supplies.

Answer 1

Answer:

Done

Step-by-step explanation:

Teacher bought $21 worth of stickers and cardstock for his class.

Cost of stickers = $1.50 per sheet

Cost of 's' sheets = $1.5s

Cost of cardstock = $3.50 per pack

Cost of 'c' packs = $3.5c

Equation representing the relationship between sheet of stickers and packs of cardstocks will be,

1.5s + 3.5c = 21

3.5c = -1.5s + 21

1).  

  y-intercept of the line → (0, 6)

  x-intercept of the line → (14, 0)

  Therefore, equation of the line represents the line on the graph.

2). Vertical intercept (0, 6) represents that he can purchase maximum 6 packs of cardstock with $21.

  Similarly, horizontal intercept (14, 0) represents that he can purchase maximum 14 sheets of stickers with $21.
