Solve Assume the Exercise Describes a Linear Relationship $\$ 1.75$ , Sales Will Reach 83 Pretzels Per Day

question 131

Multiple Choice

Solve. Assume the exercise describes a linear relationship.
-A vendor has learned that, by pricing pretzels at $\$ 1.75$ , sales will reach 83 pretzels per day. Raising the price to $\$ 2.25$ will cause the sales to fall to 59 pretzels per day. Let y be the number of pretzels the vendor sells at $x$ dollars each. Write a linear equation that models the number of pretzels sold per day when the price is $x$ dollars each.

• A) \(y = - 48 x + 167\)
• B) \(y = - \frac { 1 } { 48 } x + \frac { 15929 } { 192 }\)
• C) \(y = - 48 x - 167\)
• D) \(y = 48 x - 1\)
