A market sells strawberries for $2.00 per pint. Makayla is going to graph this relationship on the coordinate grid below.

Question

Total Cost of Berries
On a coordinate plane, the x-axis is labeled Pints and the y-axis is labeled Dollars.

What point on Makayla’s graph will represent the cost of 4 pints of strawberries?
(2, 4)
(4, 0)
(4, 8)
(8, 4)

Answer 1

To find the point on Makayla's graph that represents the cost of 4 pints of strawberries, we first calculate the total cost.

The price is $2.00 per pint. Therefore, for 4 pints:

Total Cost = Price per pint × Number of pints Total Cost = $2.00 × 4 = $8.00

Now, we need to represent this relationship on the graph. The x-axis represents the number of pints, and the y-axis represents the total cost in dollars.

For 4 pints, the coordinates will be (Number of Pints, Total Cost):

\[ (4, 8) \]

So the point representing the cost of 4 pints of strawberries is (4, 8). The correct answer is (4, 8).
