Question 5 • AZ-Algebra 1A (MA101)
The additional pay per newspaper is the change in earnings divided by the change in newspapers: ($75 − $37.50) ÷ (20 − 5) = $2.50 per newspaper. Using the first week’s earnings, the base pay is $37.50 − ($2.50 × 5) = $25. So the model is g(x) = 2.5x + 25, choice C.
