Jamauri and two of his friends are planning a college visit to Savannah State University, but they each need to rent a separate car. They need to know the total cost of renting a car from Travel Rental Car Company. The total cost that Jamauri and his friends will pay altogether is modeled by the equation which includes the daily amount and the down payment for each car: C = 3(32.60d + 50)
What does the 50 from the equation represent within the context of the scenario?
The down payment for the car
The daily amount for the car
The total cost
The miles driven

Proportional
y = 3.25x
Nonproportional
Imagine you are planning to buy small plants for your garden. Each plant costs $2, and you’ve also decided to buy a set of gardening gloves that cost $3. You have a total budget of $17 for this purchase. Select the correct equation and the amount of plants can you purchase?
3x + 2 = 17
5 plants
3x + 2 = 17
7 plants
2x + 3 = 17
5 plants
2x + 3 = 17
7 plants
Charlie tracked the cost of batch-recording YouTube videos in the table. Which equations represents the relationship in the table?
Hint: Follow the directions on how to use Desmos
y = 0.75x + 11
y = 1.5x + 11
y = 23 x + 11
y = 43 x + 11
Dr. Middleton is trying to create a formula with his student, Jacobi, to solidify the fundraising goal for the Men of Excellence organization’s gala based on the number of gala attendees. The organization has raised $500 from pre-ticket sales. The tickets are selling for $10 a ticket. The total cost for the organization’s gala is represented by the equation C = 500 + 10n. What does each part of the equation represent?
C = the total cost
10 = initial value
500 = rate of change
n = number of tickets
C = the total cost
500 = initial value
10 = rate of change
n = number of tickets
500 = the total cost
10 = initial value
n = rate of change
C = number of tickets
C = the total cost
500 = initial value
n = rate of change
10 = number of tickets
The graph below represents the time, in hours, and the distance, in miles, it took Khylen and Gilberto to run at the Savannah Rapids Pavilion in Evans, Georgia. Which two equations from the list represent graphs A and B?
Hint: Follow the directions on how to use Desmos
y = 10x
y = 5x
y = 10x + 4
y = 5x + 5
Dr. Middleton is trying to create a formula with his student, Jacobi, to solidify the fundraising goal for the Men of Excellence organization’s gala based on the number of gala attendees. The organization has raised $500 from pre-ticket sales. The tickets are selling for $10 a ticket. The total cost for the organization’s gala is represented by the equation C = 500 + 10n.
Jacobi wants to ensure that the total cost for the gala does not exceed $800. Model a linear inequality that represents the situation.
10n + 500 > 800
10n + 500 ≥ 800
10n + 500 < 800
10n + 500 ≤ 800
Alexis has $20 to go buy snacks from the store. The total cost is represented by the expression 5x - 2, where x is the number of snacks she intends to buy. Select two options that would make the statement true
