Answer 1

To fill the table representing the relationship given by the equation \( y = x + 5.50 \), we can calculate the total cost \( y \) for various values of \( x \).

### Given Values:
1. For \( x = 1.50 \):
\[
y = 1.50 + 5.50 = 7.00
\]

2. For \( x = 2.00 \):
\[
y = 2.00 + 5.50 = 7.50
\]

3. For \( x = 5.00 \):
\[
y = 5.00 + 5.50 = 10.50
\]

4. For \( x = 8.50 \):
\[
y = 8.50 + 5.50 = 14.00
\]

5. For \( x = 15.50 \):
\[
y = 15.50 + 5.50 = 21.00
\]

### Updated Table:

| x | y |
|--------|------|
| 1.50 | 7.00 |
| 2.00 | 7.50 |
| 5.00 | 10.50|
| 8.50 | 14.00|
| 15.50 | 21.00|

Now, let’s fill in the blanks in the original response area:

- Blank space 2 (for x = 1.50) is filled with 7.00
- Blank space 3 (for x = 2.00) is filled with 7.50
- Blank space 4 (for x = 5.00) is filled with 10.50
- Blank space 5 (for x = 8.50) is filled with 14.00
- Blank space 8 (for x = 15.50) is filled with 21.00

### Final Representation:
Here’s how the final table looks:

| x | y |
|--------|------|
| 1.50 | 7.00 |
| | |
| 2.00 | 7.50 |
| | |
| | |
| 5.00 | 10.50|
| | |
| | |
| 8.50 | 14.00|
| | |
| | |
| 15.50 | 21.00|
