Question

An ice cream shop is choosing a milk delivery service. The Spotted Cow charges $2.80 per gallon, plus a $2 delivery fee. Dairy Farms charges $2.10 per gallon, plus a $10 delivery fee. If the ice cream shop uses 20 gallons a milk per week, which service is a better deal? Group of answer choices

Answer 1

Answer:

The Dairy Farm is better deal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Per gallon charges of the Spotted Cow = $2.80

Delivery fee = $2

Let,

x be the gallons of milk.

S(x) = 2.80x + 2

Putting x = 20

S(20) = 2.80(20) + 2 = 56 + 2

S(20) = $58

Per gallon charges of the Dairy Farms = $2.10

Delivery fee = $10

D(x) = 2.10x + 10

Putting x = 20

D(20) = 2.10(20) + 10 = 42 + 10

D(20) = $52

Hence,

The Dairy Farm is better deal.
