An international food festival charges for admission and for each sample of food. Admission and 7 samples cost $11.25. Admission and 9 samples cost $13.25. Write a linear function rule to model the cost y for any number of samples x.

y = x + 4.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

y = total cost

x = cost of food sample

b = cost of admission

y = mx + b

Sample 1:

y = mx + b

11.25 = m*7 + b

11.25 = 7m + b

Sample 2:

y = mx + b

13.25 = m*9 + b

13.25 = 9m + b

Solve the equations simultaneously

11.25 = 7m + b (1)

13.25 = 9m + b (2)

Multiply (1) by 9 and (2) by 7

101.25 = 63m + 9b

92.75 = 63m + 7b

Subtract

101.25 - 92.75 = 9b - 7b

8.5 = 2b

b = 8.5/2

= 4.25

b = 4.25

Substitute b = 4.25 into (1)

11.25 = 7m + b (1)

11.25 = 7m + 4.25

11.25 - 4.25 = 7m

7 = 7m

m = 7/7

= 1

m = 1

y = mx + b

y = x + 4.25

the answer should be:

a. 3, 4, and 6

b. 18, 24, and 36

c. 4.8, 6.4, and 9.6

there is only one way to arrange all the eight relative to each other because they are not distinct. we have

now there are nine places to place an (and not more than one in one place).   because we have four symbols, we need to choose four of these nine places to insert an . order does not matter because the are not distinct.

thus there are 1 · c(9,4) ways, or, if we calculate it,

thus there are 126 ways to form such "words."
