Strawberries are on sale for $0.75 a pound, and you have a coupon for $0.40 off your total purchase. Write a function rule for the cost of n pounds. How much would 20 pounds of strawberries cost?(1 point)

Responses

y= 0.75x ; $15

y= 0.75x - 0.40 ; $14.60

y= (0.75-0.40)x ; $7

y= 0.4x - 0.75 ; $7.25

1 answer

The correct answer is:

y = 0.75x - 0.40

To find the cost of 20 pounds of strawberries, substitute n = 20 into the function:

y = 0.75(20) - 0.40
y = 15 - 0.40
y = 14.60

Therefore, 20 pounds of strawberries would cost $14.60.
