Question

a glass bottle filled with oil weighs 590 grams. after sophia uses 200 milliliters of oil, the bottle of oil weighs 400 grams.
the weight ( m ) of the bottle of oil, in grams, is a function of ( v ), the volume, in milliliters, of oil sophia has used.
write the functions formula.
( m = )

Explanation:

Step1: Find weight of used oil

$590 - 400 = 190$ grams

Step2: Find oil weight per mL

$\frac{190}{200} = 0.95$ grams/mL

Step3: Define weight of used oil

Weight of used oil = $0.95V$ grams

Step4: Derive function for $M$

$M = 590 - 0.95V$

Answer:

$M = 590 - 0.95V$
