Mark bought gifts for his friends, and each gift cost $9. Let y represent the total cost and x represent the number of gifts. Write an equation to represent the proportional relationship between the total cost and the number of gifts he bought.

y = 9x

Step-by-step explanation:

You can set up linear equations like this: y = mx + b, where m is the slope or rate, and b is the y-intercept.

9 would be the slope, since he has to pay $9 per gift.

The y-intercept is when x = 0, but if he doesn't buy any gifts, he won't have to pay anything, so b = 0. You don't have to include it since it's 0.

So, it's just y = 9x

Hope that helps! :D

$2416.6

step-by-step explanation:

per hour = $ 25

total work time = 35

commission = 15%

total she has to make = $ 4,500

let she sold x dollar products

so her commission will be 15 % of x

now

total = weekly basic pay + commission

4500= (25*35) + 15 % of x

4500=875 + * x

4500-875 =   * x

3625= * x

multiplying wwith 100 on both sides gives

36250 = 15 x

now

x =  

x= $2416.6
