Question

a cereal company finds that the more it spends on advertising, the more boxes of cereal it sells. which of the graphs shown could represent the sales of the cereal company?
a. graph z
b. graph y
c. graph x
d. graph w

Explanation:

The problem states that more advertising spending leads to more cereal sales, meaning sales (y-axis) increase as advertising (x-axis) increases.

• Graph W: Rises then falls, so sales decrease after a point, which contradicts the given relationship.
• Graph X: Falls then flattens, sales decrease with more advertising, which is incorrect.
• Graph Y: Rises then falls sharply, sales drop after a peak, which is not matching.
• Graph Z: Shows a steady, continuous increase in sales as advertising spending increases, which aligns with the problem's description.

Answer:

A. Graph Z
