A bird seed store is running a sale, when as you buy additional bags of seed you get a reduction in price on the additional bags.

- first and second bags cost $20/bag
- third through fifth bag cost $15/bag
- sixth through tenth bags cost $10/bag

Graph the total cost as a function of the number of bags purchased.

I can not figure out how to graph it and I don't think you need my eraser shavings.. but here
\/
bags / total cost
1 / 20
2 / 40
3 / 55 note:I graph this table?
4 / 70
5 / 85
6 / 95
7 / 105 note: x= # of bags
8 / 115 y= total cost
9 / 125
10 / 135
Can you solve this issue? I am confused as to how to set up my x and y axis and how to graph.
thankyou!

y is usually graphed as a function of x

bags on the x-axis

total cost on the y-axis

you should get a line with the slope changing at intervals

you may need different scales on the two axes
