The Roaming Cell Phone Company charges $15.00 per month plus $0.20 per minute of airtime usage.  If Juanita uses x minutes of airtime, what is an equation that can be used to determine her monthly cell phone bill (C)?

• C = 0.20x + 15
• C =15 (0.20x)
• C = 15 + x + 0.20
• C = 0.20 + 15x

Morgan has $263.49 in her bank account.  She babysits two days each week.  Each time she babysits she earns $36.  She deposits all the money she earns into her bank account at the end of the week.  Which linear equation below best models the relationship between the total amount of money in Morgan's bank account(T) and the number of weeks(w) that have passed?

• T = 72w + 263.49
• T = 36w + 263.49
• T = 263.49w + 36
• w = 72T + 263.49

A local donut shop charged $6.50 for a dozen and provided a coupon in the newspaper for $1.50 off an order. Since the donut shop has gained popularity they have changed their coupon which now provides a discount of only half their original coupon's value. What is the equation that represents the value of a customer's order who uses the new coupon with their order?

• y = 6.50x - 0.75
• y = 6.50x + 0.75
• y = 6.50x - 1.50 - 0.75
• y = 5x - 0.75
