Question

Golden Corral charges $11 for a buffet plus $1 for each drink. Western Sizzlin charges $9 for a buffet plus $2 for each drink. Which restaurant has the best deal? (I made up these prices!!) 1. Write 2 equations to represent the 2 restaurants. Predict if these equations will be linear of nonlinear (how do you know?). If they are linear will the lines point upward or downward (how do you know?).

Answer 1

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

GC = 11B + 1D

WS = 9B + 2D

Linear equations will point downward

Western Sizzlin is the best deal per person because in total it would be $11 and Golden Corral would be $12.

Answer 2

Western Sizzling would be cheaper because with the total meal it would cost $11 while Golden Corral would cost $12 for the total meal.
