question 276

Multiple Choice

Solve.
-A vendor has learned that, by pricing hot dogs at $\$ 1.25$ , sales will reach 115 hot dogs per day. Raising the price to $\$ 2.25$ will cause the sales to fall to 71 hot dogs per day. Let y be the number of hot dogs the vendor sells at $x$ dollars each. Write a linear equation that models the number of hot dogs sold per day when the price is $x$ dollars each.

• A) \(y = - 44 x + 170\)
• B) \(y = - \frac { 1 } { 44 } x + \frac { 20235 } { 176 }\)
• C) \(\mathrm { y } = 44 \mathrm { x } + 60\)
• D) \(\mathrm { y } = - 44 \mathrm { x } - 170\)
