Question

Abby and Anita receive water service from two different companies. Anita’s water service costs 30 cents per gallon each month and has a service charge of $25 per month. Abby’s water service costs 10 cents per gallon each month and has a service charge of $35 per month. Let x
represent the number of gallons of water each month and y
represent the monthly cost. Write the equations that make up the system of equations for this scenario.(1 point)
Anita’s water bill can be modeled with the equation y=


Abby’s water bill can be modeled with the equation y=

Answer 1

Anita’s water bill: y = 0.30x + 25

Abby’s water bill: y = 0.10x + 35

(Here x is gallons per month and y is dollars per month.)
