Jessica and Monte sell bananas at a produce stand. Jessica earns $4 for each crate of bananas she sells. At the end of the week, Monte has earned $15 less than Jessica. The following expression shows Monte's earnings: 4y − 15

In the expression, what does the first term represent?

Jessica's earnings at the end of the week
The number of crates of bananas Jessica sold
Monte's earnings at the end of the week
The number of crates of bananas Monte sold

Jessica's Earning's at the end of the week

Step-by-step explanation:

If Jessica earns $4 for every crate she sells that means the first term would be what Jessica earned at the end of the week minus $15 because Monte made $15 dollars less then Jessica.

option 1 is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

y varies inversely with x and constant of variation is 4

the equation will be:

y = k/x

where k =4 so,

y = 4/x

if we put values of x of option 1 in the above equation and find values of y

y = 4/-2 => y =-2

y = 4/-1 => y = -4

y = 4/1 => y = 4

y = 4/2 => y =2

so, all the values of x and y are correct.

if we put values of x given in other options and find value of y we cannot find whole table satisfying the equation.

hence option 1 is correct.
