Question

Stephanie is a taxi driver. She rents her taxi for $300/week. She feels she can take in $120/day in fares. Let D be the number of days she drives her taxi in a week and T be the total earnings she expects after subtracting the rental charge.

a. Identify four ordered pairs (D,T).
b. Write an equation that gives T as a function of D.
c. What is the most she can earn in a year at this rate?

Answer 1

Answer: a. (0, -300), (1, -180), (2, -60), (7, 540)

b. T=120D-300

c. $28080

Step-by-step explanation:

a. T=120D-300 ==> per week

D=0: T=120(0)-300

D=0: T=-300 ==> (0, -300)

D=1: T=120(1)-300

D=1: T=120-300

D=1: T=-180 ==> (1, -180)

D=2: T=120(2)-300

D=2: T=240-300

D=2: T=-60 ==> (2, -60)

D=7: T=120(7)-300

D=7: T=840-300

D=7: T=540 ==> (7, 540)

b. T=120D-300

c. T=120(7)-300

T=840-300

T=$540 per week

1 year = 52 weeks

540*52=$28080
