Step-by-step explanation:
the price charged for 100 students reflects the cost per student that applies to the order as a whole.
100 * 6 = $600, so the fixed cost is 750-600 = 150.
...
We can check this by substituting in the other equation.
Does 150*6 + 150 = 1050?
150*6=900
900+150 = 1050.
Yes, it does
...
We can express this relationship by the equation:
y = mx + b
where
y = total cost
m = $6 per student
x = number of students
b = fixed costs = 150
y = 6x + 150
