Question

A scout has 100 boxes of cookies to sell. They sell 25 boxes every 3 hours. Select the graph that shows how many boxes of cookies the scout has over time.(1 point)

A coordinate graph shows the x-axis labeled as hours ranging from 0 to 9 in 1 unit increments and the y-axis labeled as boxes of cookies ranging from 0 to 175 in increments of 25. Four unlabeled points are plotted as follows: left parenthesis 0 comma 100 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 3 comma 125 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 6 comma 150 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 9 comma 175 right parenthesis. A solid arrow passes through these points.

A coordinate graph shows the x-axis labeled as hours ranging from 0 to 8 in 1 unit increments and the y-axis labeled as boxes of cookies ranging from 0 to 10 in 1 unit increments. Six unlabeled points are plotted as follows: left parenthesis 0 comma 10 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 1 comma 9 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 2 comma 8 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 3 comma 7 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 4 comma 6 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 5 comma 5 right parenthesis. A solid arrow passes through these points.

Answer 1

To determine the correct graph that represents how many boxes of cookies the scout has over time, we need to analyze the situation:

- The scout starts with **100 boxes** of cookies.
- They sell **25 boxes every 3 hours**.

This means that for every 3 hours, the number of boxes sold will decrease by 25. We can calculate how many boxes remain over time:

1. After 0 hours: \(100\) boxes (start)
2. After 3 hours: \(100 - 25 = 75\) boxes
3. After 6 hours: \(75 - 25 = 50\) boxes
4. After 9 hours: \(50 - 25 = 25\) boxes

Now, looking for the graph that reflects the above points:
- At \(0\) hours, there are \(100\) boxes.
- At \(3\) hours, there are \(75\) boxes.
- At \(6\) hours, there are \(50\) boxes.
- At \(9\) hours, there are \(25\) boxes.

The only graph that accurately depicts the points
\((0, 100)\), \((3, 75)\), \((6, 50)\), and \((9, 25)\) is:

**The second graph:**
- It shows the points as \((0, 100)\), \((3, 75)\), \((6, 50)\), and \((9, 25)\), accurately depicting the decrease in boxes over time.

Thus, the correct choice is the second graph.
