Juan has to pay a yearly fee of $10 to join. He spends a total of $350 for 23
books. How much was the price per book on average?
Write a function for Ana and Juan each to model the scenario to figure out
the total cost per book. Who has the better deal? Ana or Juan? Why?


Sagot :

Answer:

Ana  spent $17  per book on average.

Juan  spent $14.78  per book on average.

y = $15 + 17x--------- equation 1

y= $10 + 14.78 x------------- equation 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Ana has to pay a yearly fee of $15 to join.

She spends a total of $525 for 30 books.

The amount spent on books = Total amount - yearly fee

                                                 = $525- $15= $510

Price per book on the average = $510/30= $ 17

Ana  spent $17  per book on average.

Juan has to pay a yearly fee of $10 to join.

He spends a total of $350 for 23 books.

The amount spent on books = Total amount - yearly fee

                                                 = $350- $10= $340

Price per book on the average = $340/23= $ 14.78≅ $15

Juan  spent $14.78  per book on average.

The function can be established if y gives the total cost and x gives the number of books

y = $15 + 17x--------- equation 1

y= $10 + 14.78 x------------- equation 2

Juan has a better deal because the yearly fee is less also the price per book is less.
