Lola bought x pencils that cost $0.25 each and y erasers that cost $0.50. She spent less than $3. Which graph represents Lola’s purchase?

Graph C is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lola bought X pencils that cost $0.25 and Y erasers that cost $0.50.

Total expenditure is less than $3.

If we represent expense in the equation form then it will be

Expense on pencils + expense on erasers = Total expense which is < 3

0.25X + 0.50Y < 3

Now we divide the inequality by 0.25

X + 2Y < 12

This inequality when graphed, line will be plotted in dots and area below the line will be in the shaded form.

Slope of this line is = (-1/2) {from the standard equation of line y = mx + c)

Now we come to the graphs. Here dotted line graphs are A or C.

We will calculate the slopes of the lines from the graphs A and C to get tha answer.

For Graph A

The end points are (12, 0) and (0, 3)

So slope = (y-y')/(x-x') = (3-0)/(0-12) = -3/12 = -1/4

For Graph C.

End points the line are (0, 6) and (12, 0)

Slope of the line = (0-6)/(12-0) = -6/12 = -1/2

Therefore Graph C is the answer.

how many centimeters did the level of the salsa go down by?

the function makes a strait line horizontally with no x intercept but a y intercept at 9.
