Solve the Problem $y=40 x+49$ B) $y=-\frac{1}{40} x+\frac{8717}{80}$

question 57

Multiple Choice

Solve the problem.

- vendor has learned that, by pricing pretzels at $1.50, sales will reach 109 pretzels per day. Raising the price to $2.50 will cause the sales to fall to 69 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 (y) when the price is x dollars each.

• A) \( y=40 x+49 \)
• B) \( y=-\frac{1}{40} x+\frac{8717}{80} \)
• C) \( y=-40 x-169 \)
• D) \( y=-40 x+169 \)
