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: y = 0.30x + 25

Abby: y = 0.10x + 35

So the system is: y = 0.30x + 25 and y = 0.10x + 35.
