Question

felipe is printing extra flyers to distribute. the flyers are printed at a constant rate. the table below shows the number flyers he has after diffe time.
time (minutes) 10 15 20 25
flyers 98 133 168 203
answer the following questions.
(a) choose the statement that best describes how the time and the number of flyers felipe has are related. then give the value requested.
○ as time increases, the number of flyers felipe has decreases.
at what rate is the number of flyers felipe has decreasing?
□ flyers per minute
○ as time increases, the number of flyers felipe has increases.
at what rate is the number of flyers felipe has increasing?
□ flyers per minute
(b) how many flyers did felipe already have when he started printing?
□ flyers

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze trend of flyers

Observe table: 98→133→168→203 as time rises.

Step2: Calculate increase rate

Find difference in flyers over time:
$\frac{133-98}{15-10} = \frac{35}{5} = 7$
Verify with another pair: $\frac{168-133}{20-15} = \frac{35}{5} = 7$

Step3: Find initial flyer count

Use rate to find flyers at $t=0$:
Let $y = 7t + b$. Plug $t=10, y=98$:
$98 = 7(10) + b$
$98 = 70 + b$
$b = 98 - 70 = 28$

Answer:

(a)

• Correct statement: As time increases, the number of flyers Felipe has increases.
• Rate: 7 flyers per minute

(b) 28 flyers
