The grocery store is having a sale on sour patch kids. Each giant bag of sour patch is $1.20 (you lose that much when you buy, wink). You have 30 dollars to spend. Write an equation that represents the number of sour patch, x, that you can buy

y = − 1.20 x + 30 y=-1.20x+30 y = − 1 . 2 0 x + 3 0

y = 1.20 x + 30 y=1.20x+30 y = 1 . 2 0 x + 3 0

y = − 30 x + 1.20 y=-30x+1.20 y = − 3 0 x + 1 . 2 0

y = 30 x + 1.20 y=30x+1.20 y = 3 0 x + 1 . 2 0

You are a part of a charity that will pay 12 dollars for every mile that you run in a race. You already had 28 dollars. Write an equation that represents y, how much total money you raised for x miles

y = 12 x + 28 y=12x+28 y = 1 2 x + 2 8

y = − 12 x + 28 y=-12x+28 y = − 1 2 x + 2 8

y = 28 x + 12 y=28x+12 y = 2 8 x + 1 2

y = − 28 x + 12 y=-28x+12 y = − 2 8 x + 1 2

You are buying baby food. The store sells the baby food for $1.25 every pouch-thingy. Write an equation that represents the total cost y of x pouches.

y = 1.25 x + 0 y=1.25x+0 y = 1 . 2 5 x + 0

y = 1.25 x + 1.25 y=1.25x+1.25 y = 1 . 2 5 x + 1 . 2 5

y = − 1.25 x y=-1.25x y = − 1 . 2 5 x

y = − 1.25 x − 1.25 y=-1.25x\ -1.25 y = − 1 . 2 5 x − 1 . 2 5

You are buying apples and oranges from the store. The store sells apples for $1.15 each and oranges for $2 each. You bought 5 oranges and x apples. Write an equation that represents y the total cost.

y = 1.15 x + 10 y=1.15x+10 y = 1 . 1 5 x + 1 0

y = 1.15 x + 20 y=1.15x+20 y = 1 . 1 5 x + 2 0

y = 10 x + 1.15 y=10x+1.15 y = 1 0 x + 1 . 1 5

y = 5 x + 1.15 y=5x+1.15 y = 5 x + 1 . 1 5

You make your own jars of apple jam and peach jam to sell. The apple jam costs $3.50 each and the peach jam costs $2 each. You sell 15 jars of peach jam. How much did you make total?

y = 3.50 x + 30 y=3.50x\ +30 y = 3 . 5 0 x + 3 0

y = 2 x + 3.50 y=2x+3.50 y = 2 x + 3 . 5 0

y = 30 x + 3.50 y=30x+3.50 y = 3 0 x + 3 . 5 0

y = 3.50 x + 2 x y=3.50x+2x y = 3 . 5 0 x + 2 x
