Devin has $30 on his bus card. Every time he rides a bus, $1.20 is deducted from the value on his card. The amount if money he h

as on his card, y dollars, is a function of the number of times he rides the bus, x.
Part A
• Find an equation in slope-intercept form to represent the function.
• Find the number of bus rides Devin has taken if he has $3.60 on his card.

Write your answers and your work or explaination in the space below.

Part B
Rebecca has a bus card as well. The amount of money left on her card, y dollars, after taking x rides on the bus can be represented by the function y=-1.4x+33. After how many rides on the bus would both Devin and Rebecca have the same amount of value on their bus card?

Answer:

y = -1.2x + 30

x = 22

x = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Part A</u>

Initially, Devin has $30.  Then every time he rides the bus, $1.20 is taken away:  y = 30 - 1.2x

Therefore, in slope-intercept form:  y = -1.2x + 30

If he has $3.60 on his card, then y = 3.60, so substitute this into the above equation and solve for x:

                                                  3.60 = -1.2x + 30

subtract 30 from both sides:  -26.4 = -1.2x

divide both sides by -1.2:             22 = x

Therefore Devin has ridden the bus 22 times if he has $3.60 on his card.

<u>Part B</u>

Rebecca:  y = -1.4x + 33

To determine how many rides on the bus Devin and Rebecca would need to take to have the same amount of value of their bus card, simply equate the equations and solve for x:

                                          Rebecca = Devin

                                                       y = y

                                         -1.4x + 33 = 30 - 1.2x

subtract 33 from both sides:   -1.4x = -3 - 1.2x

Add 1.2x to both sides:           -0.2x = -3

Divide both sides by -0.2:             x = 15

Therefore, Devin and Rebecca would both have to take 15 rides on the bus to have the same amount of value of their bus card.

Describe the relationship between the temperature and the coffee sales.
Levart [38]

The relationship between temperature and the coffee sales is a negative exponential of temperature

<h3>

What is relation?</h3>

relation is subject of order between to sets or how the connected to each other.

The temperature of liquid is essential in the  process of brewing because its affects the rate of evaporation or extraction. it refers to the test and matters that are dissolved from the coffee beans. The hot is the water, the quick it is to extract. At a high temperature, it’s tougher to control the rate of extraction. This can lead to over-evaporation of liquid, making your coffee taste too bitter since the heat strips away a lot of oxygen.

since the temperature varies over the year, which implies the taste of coffee also vary in a manner that in cold days people love coffees and in hotter days the people love to drink cold drinks instead of coffees
so in cold days the sales of coffees is grater in comparison with hot days

Thus the relationship between the sales of coffees and temperature is negative exponential of temperature.

the odds in favor of frank mckinnis winning a hot dog eating contest are 2:9the odds in favor of frank mckinnis winning a hot do
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

Consider the complete question is,

'The odds in favor of frank McKinney winning a hot dog eating contest are 2:9,

  • Determine the probability that Frank will win the contest,
  • Determine the probability that Frank will not win the contest'

Solution :

We know that,

Odds in favor : the ratio of the number of ways that an outcome can occur compared to how many ways it cannot occur.

We have,

\frac{\text{Number of ways of winning the contest}}{\text{Number of ways of not wining the contest}}=\frac{2}{9}

So, total outcomes = 2 + 9 = 11,

\text{Probability}=\frac{\text{Favourable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}}

Thus, the probability that Frank will win the contest = \frac{2}{11}

And,

The probability that Frank will win the contest = \frac{9}{11}
