Question

A company charges a flat fee for shipping for items ordered online. This relationship can be represented by the equation y equals x plus 5.50, where x represents the cost of the items ordered and y represents the total cost including shipping.



Move numbers to the table to represent this relationship.

Answer 1

To complete the table, we need to calculate the total cost \( y \) for each given item cost \( x \) using the equation \( y = x + 5.50 \).

Let's do the calculations for the provided values of \( x \):

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

Now we can fill in the table:

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

Here’s the completed table based on the computations.
