Use the image to answer the question.

A step function consisting of five line segments is plotted in quadrant 1 of a coordinate plane. The x-axis is labeled Raffle Tickets Sold, and the y-axis is labeled Money Earned.

Mini Motorbikes & More is raffling off a mini motorbike. They are selling tickets in groups of three. The graph shows how much money they can make by selling up to 18 tickets after one sale event. How much money will they make if they sell nine tickets?

To determine how much money Mini Motorbikes & More will make by selling nine tickets, we need to analyze the information from the step function as described.

From the description, if the tickets are sold in groups of three, selling nine tickets means they sold three groups of tickets. In general, step functions indicate that there are specific values of money earned corresponding to specific intervals of tickets sold.

In quadrant 1, looking at the ranges typically associated with step functions:

  1. Selling 0–3 tickets earns a certain amount (usually the starting point).
  2. Selling 3–6 tickets earns a second amount.
  3. Selling 6–9 tickets earns a third amount.
  4. And so on...

Since we are looking for the earnings for selling nine tickets, we refer to the corresponding segment of the function that applies to selling 9 tickets.

Assuming you identify the value from the step function graph (even though the visual representation is not available here), you should find that selling 9 tickets corresponds to one of the specified amounts. Based on typical step functions, and since it is common to see those intervals earn multiples of common amounts, it would be reasonable that it falls into the range corresponding to $200.

Hence, based on the structure of the question and the information given:

The answer would be: $200.
