Respuesta :

Answer:

D) $247.90

Step-by-step explanation:

Understanding the equation:

[tex] \underline{\sf{y = 2.44x + 3.90}}[/tex]

y is the dependent function whereas x is the independent function.

(What does this mean?)

The values of y depend on the values of x, I.e., any change in the value of x causes a change in the value of y, meanwhile, the opposite doesn't happen.

  • x represents the number of invitations
  • y represents the cost to print the invitations

The cost to print the invitation depends on the number of invitations, for real.

Solution to the problem:

The question asks us to find the cost of printing 100 invitations.

Substituting x for 100:

y = (2.44 × 100) + 3.90

y = 244 + 3.90

y = 247.90

Answer:

The value of y obtained for x = 100 is the cost of printing 100 invitations – $ 247.90
