Question 30 • Algebra II

Day and Night Kennel charges 20 dollars per day plus a one-time food fee of 15 dollars to board a pet. Bark Time Hotel charges 30 dollars per day plus a one-time food fee of 5 dollars Which system represents this real-world situation?

Answer
A
Image with description On a coordinate plane, the scale on x axis range from negative 5 to 5 with an interval of 1 unit, and the scale on y axis range from negative 50 to 50 with an interval of 5 units. The two lines pass through (0 comma 5) and (0 comma 15) and intersect each other at (1 comma 35).
B
Image with description On a coordinate plane, the scale on x axis range from negative 5 to 5 with an interval of 1 unit, and the scale on y axis range from negative 50 to 50 with an interval of 5 units. The two lines pass through the origin.
C
Image with description On a coordinate plane, the scale for the x axis range from negative 5 to 5 with an interval of 1 unit, and the scale on y axis range from negative 50 to 50 with an interval of 5 units. Two lines pass through the points (0 comma 5) and (0 comma 30) and intersect each other at (negative 2 point 5 comma negative 20).
D
Image with description On a coordinate plane, the scale on x axis range from negative 5 to 5 with an interval of 1 unit, and the scale on y axis range from negative 50 to 50 with an interval of 5 units. The two lines pass through (0 comma 20) and (0 comma 30) and intersect each other at (1 comma 45).

Explanation

Let x be the number of days and y the total boarding cost. Day and Night’s cost is y = 20x + 15, while Bark Time’s cost is y = 30x + 5; their y-intercepts are therefore 15 and 5. Setting the costs equal gives 20x + 15 = 30x + 5, so x = 1 and the shared cost is $35. Choice A shows those intercepts and the intersection (1, 35).
