Autumn has a gift card to buy candy at a candy shop. The initial value of the gift card is 25 dollars. The function v=25-2.50c represents the amount of money still left on the gift card v after purchasing c candy. Find the zero of this function. Describe what this value means in this context.​

Respuesta :

You have an initial amount of 25 dollars. Apparently, every candy costs 2.50 dollars, because you subtract 2.50c for c candies.

The zero of the function is

[tex]25-2.5c=0 \iff 25=2.5c \iff c=\dfrac{25}{2.5}=10[/tex]

So, you can buy 10 candies with the gift card.
