Q:

plz help asap !! The high school jazz band is selling homemade leather bracelets at a local craft fair to raise money for a trip. The group spent $200 on supplies, which is enough to make 260 bracelets. The group is charging $2 per bracelet at the craft fair.Write a function modeling the relationship.

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:y = 2x - 200 Step-by-step explanation:The function type that would model this relationship is linear because for each bracelet sold, the jazz band would increase their profit by $2.  Since it has a consistent rate, it is linear.  Using the slope-intercept formula of y = mx + b, where 'm' is the rate and 'b' is the initial value, you can use $2 for the rate or cost per bracelet and -$200 for the initial value or cost of supplies: y = 2x - 200, where '2' is the cost per bracelet, 'x' the number of bracelets sold, '-200' is the cost for supplies and 'y' is the profit.
