A neighborhood developer has asked Supergreen Lawn Company for an estimate of what it would cost to cut ALL the lawns in the whole neighborhood each month. Supergreen Lawn Company charges $20 per yard, plus another $50 to help pay for equipment maintenance. Not all the houses aren't built yet. What function could Supergreen Lawn Company give the developer so he could know how much it would cost him each month for lawn service - no matter how many houses are built in the neighborhood?

*
y = 50n + 50
y = 2n + 150
y = 2n -250
y = 20n + 50

1 answer

y = 20n + 50

In this function, y represents the total cost of cutting the lawns in the neighborhood each month, and n represents the number of houses in the neighborhood (regardless of whether they are built or not). The function takes into account the $50 equipment maintenance cost and the $20 cost per yard. This way, the developer can easily calculate the monthly cost for lawn service based on the number of houses in the neighborhood.
