Randy charges his tenants $400 each month to rent his houses plus $600 security deposit. In the new year, the property taxes increased on the area where he rents so as a result he must increase the rate of change by $25 to ensure his profits are not harmed. What equation best represents how much his tenants will now have to pay?

• y = 425x + 600

• y = 425 + 600x

• y = 400x + 625

• y = 400 + 625x

Jenny went to the sale at Kohl's last weekend.  
T-shirts were on sale for $15 each and hoodies were on sale for $20 each.  If she spent $150 total, write an equation to represent this situation.  

• 20x + 15 = y 

• 35x = y 

• 15x + 20y = 150 

• 150 - 20x = 15y
