A customer at a bagel shop is buying 13 bagels. The shopkeeper says, “That would be $16.25.” Jada, Priya, and Han, who are in the shop, all think it is a mistake.

Jada says to her friends, “Shouldn’t the total be $13.25?”
Priya says, “I think it should be $13.00.”
Han says, “No, I think it should be $11.25.”

Explain how the shopkeeper, Jada, Priya, and Han could all be right.

compare the two slopes in the decimal form. if the slopes are equal, then the lines are parallel. if the slopes are not equal, then the lines are not parallel.

step-by-step explanation:

at each of the parallel lines adjacent angles are supplementary. the angles have special names identifying their positions with respect to the parallel lines and transversal. they are corresponding angles, alternate interior angles, or alternate exterior angles. an angles is congruent to its matched angle.

this is a direct variation proportion. y = kx

y is the total amount due, k is the constant of variation, and x is the number of texts sent.

plug in the 3.20 and the 16 to solve for the "k". this is the constant of proportionality. it is the value that will not change.

3.20 = k(16). solving you get $.20 per text.

the equation would then be y = .20x
