A piecewise linear function is graphed in the first quadrant of the coordinate plane. The axes both range from 0 to 80 in increments of 5.

Jamal has a 20-pound dog and a 45-pound dog. How much would it cost for him to have both dogs groomed?

To determine the cost for grooming both dogs, we would need to interpret the graph of the piecewise linear function you mentioned. However, since I can't see the graph directly, I can’t provide specific values.

Typically, you’d look for the weights of the dogs on the x-axis (20 pounds for the first dog and 45 pounds for the second dog) and find the corresponding cost on the y-axis.

To find the total cost for both dogs, you would:

  1. Locate the grooming cost for the 20-pound dog on the graph.
  2. Locate the grooming cost for the 45-pound dog on the graph.
  3. Add the two costs together to find the total grooming cost for both dogs.

If you can provide the grooming cost for each dog, I'd be happy to help you with the total!
