Question

o. a baker makes fresh loaves of bread every day throughout the week. the function $f(x) = 7(320 - x)$ represents the amount of flour, in pounds, remaining at the end of the week after x loaves have been made.
which statements are true?
a. the value f(165) is 1085. it represents there being 165 pounds of flour remaining after 1085 loaves of bread have been made.
b. the value f(165) is 1085. it represents there being 1085 pounds of flour left after 165 loaves of bread have been made.
c. the value f(165) is 2075. it represents there being 165 pounds of flour remaining after 2075 loaves of bread have been made.
d. the value f(165) is 2075. it represents there being 2075 pounds of flour remaining after 165 loaves of bread have been made.

Explanation:

Step1: Substitute x=165 into f(x)

$f(165) = 7(320 - 165)$

Step2: Calculate inside the parentheses

$320 - 165 = 155$

Step3: Compute the final value

$f(165) = 7 \times 155 = 1085$

Step4: Interpret the function meaning

$x=165$ means 165 loaves made, $f(165)$ is remaining flour.

Answer:

B. The value f(165) is 1085. It represents there being 1085 pounds of flour left after 165 loaves of bread have been made.
