Mary is comparing the costs from two companies of having a banquet
catered. Company M charges a base fee of $60 plus $12 per guest.
Company N charges a base fee of $120 plus $9 per guest. Let "Y" represent
the total cost and "x" represent the number of guests. Which system is the
best model of this situation?
Company M: y = 60x + 12 Company N: y = 120x + 9
Company M: 60 = 12x + y Company N: 120 = 9x + y
Company M: y = 12x + 60 Company N: y = 9x + 120
Company M: 12 = 60x + y Company N. 9 = 120x + y
