Each day, a local dog shelter spends an
average of $2.40 on food per dog. The
manager estimates the shelter's daily
expenses, assuming there is at least one dog
in the shelter, using the function E(x) = 30 +
2.40x.
Which statements regarding the function E(x)
are correct?
1. x represents the number of dogs at
the shelter per day.
II. x represents the number of
volunteers at the shelter per day.
III. 30 represents the shelter's total
expenses per day.
IV. 30 represents the shelter's nonfood
expenses per day.
If each dog costs about $2.40 in food expenses than you would multiply that by the number of dogs you have. So x represents the possible number of dgos.
The 30 represents the other daily expenses that the shelter has to each day.
