Mr. Yair’s class is collecting aluminum cans to raise money for a trip. The rates are shown.
$0.75 per pound for a collection weighing 10 pounds or less
$1.25 per pound for a collection weighing more than 10 pounds
What are the domain and range for a collection that weighs more than 10 pounds?

• {x|x<10}; {y|y<$12.50}
• {x|x<10}; {y|y<$7.50}
• {x|x>10}; {y|y>$12.50}
• {x|x>10}; {y|y>$7.50}

The amount Keisha can earn at her job is shown.
$7 per hour up to 40 hours per week
1.5 times the hourly wage for every hour over 40
Which piecewise-defined function best represents Keisha’s weekly pay, P(h), where h represents the hours worked?

•  P(h)= 7h, 0≤h≤40
   P(h)=10.5h+140, h≥40
• P(h)=7h, 0<h<40
  P(h)=10.5h+140, h≥40 
• P(h)=7h, 0<h<40
   P(h)= 10.5h−140, h>40
• P(h)= 7h, 0≤h≤40
  P(h)= 10.5h−140, h>40
