20 POINTS FOR HELP!!
Emily sells ice cream bars at the beach. In addition to a fixed salary, she earns a commission for each ice cream bar she sells. The table shows Emily's total earnings, y, from selling x bars of ice cream:



Ice Cream Sales and Earnings



Number of Bars Sold (x)


Total Earnings (dollars) (y)



0

30


1

33


2

36


3

39



Which equation best shows the relationship between x and y?

y = x + 36

y = 3x + 36

y = x + 30

y = 3x + 30

Respuesta :

so since the first point (0,30) has an x intercept of 0 and a y intercept of 30
We can immediately eliminate any that do not have an y intercept of 30
So choices a and b are automatically incorrect

and now to solve for slope we do (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
so we can choose any two points so I'll use points (0,30) and (1,33)

so 33-30=3
and 1-0=1

so we then do rise(y) over run (x)
and we now know our unit rate is 3x

so your answer is D

The equation that best shows the relationship between x and y is y=3x+30

How to elaborate the informations of the problem ?

Emily sells ice cream bars at the beach & get a fixed salary.

She also earns commission for each ice cream bar she sells.

The table in the question shows that Emily's total earning is y (dollars), from selling x bars of ice cream.

In the 1st column of the table,

Number of bars sold(x)=0

& Total earnings (dollars) (y)=30

So, from it, we can understand that without selling any ice cream bar, her earning is $30, i.e. Her fixed salary is $30

Now, in the 2nd column of the table,

Number of bars sold(x)=1

& Total earnings (dollars) (y)=33

Commission from 1 ice cream bar = $33-$30=$3

Now, in the 3rd column of the table,

Number of bars sold(x)=2

& Total earnings (dollars) (y)=36

Commission from 2 ice cream bar = $36-$30=$6=2×$3

Now, in the 4th column of the table,

Number of bars sold(x)=3

& Total earnings (dollars) (y)=39

Commission from 3 ice cream bar = $39-$30=$9=3×$3

How to establish the equation between x & y ?

We can see that, the unit rate of ice cream bar is 3x (dollars) , i.e. her commission depends on how many bars sold.

& her fixed salary is $30.

∴ The equation that shows her total earning (dollars) (y) with respect to the number of bars sold (x) is, y=3x+30

Hence, the 4th option is correct.
