A customer at the mall is shopping for holiday gifts and is considering having them wrapped He can get them wrapped at the department store which charges 5 per class=

Respuesta :

x is the number of gifts to be wrapped

the cost at the department store is $5 per gift

cost at the department store = 5x

the customer can pay his niece a flat fee of $50

cost of the niece: 50

cost of the niece= cost at department store

5x=50

x=50/5

x=10

y= cost

x=is the number of gifts to be wrapped

the system of equation is

y=5x ---- equation of the department store

y=50 --- equation of the niece

the graph will be

as we can see the two lines intercept when the number of gifts is equal to 10
