an
wing questions.
(a) how many flyers did miguel already have when he started printing?
77 flyers
(b) choose the statement that best describes how the time and
the number of flyers miguel has are related. then give the
value requested.
as time increases, the number of flyers miguel has
decreases.
at what rate is the number of flyers miguel has decreasing?
flyers per minute
as time increases, the number of flyers miguel has
increases.
at what rate is the number of flyers miguel has increasing?
flyers per minute

Explanation:

Step1: Find printing rate

First, calculate the rate of flyer increase. Use two time-flyer pairs:
Between 10 min (92 flyers) and 15 min (107 flyers):
$\text{Rate} = \frac{107 - 92}{15 - 10} = \frac{15}{5} = 3$ flyers per minute

Step2: Calculate initial flyer count

Use the rate to find flyers at time 0. Let $y$ = initial flyers, $y + 3\times10 = 92$
$y = 92 - 30 = 62$

Step3: Verify relationship and rate

Check data: as time rises, flyers rise. The rate is 3 flyers per minute, confirmed by other pairs:
$\frac{122-107}{20-15}=3$, $\frac{137-122}{25-20}=3$

Answer:

(a) 62 flyers
(b) As time increases, the number of flyers Miguel has increases.
At what rate is the number of flyers Miguel has increasing?
3 flyers per minute
