Making Consumer Choices

I. The Bread Machine (25 points)r /> In real life, you must often make choices about whether to buy something pre-made or make it yourself. There are many things to consider: quality of homemade vs. bought, expense, convenience, enjoyment of making something, etc. In this response, you will be looking at the choice of buying a bread machine or relying exclusively on store bought bread.

A. The bread machine you are interested in costs $100 with tax.
The ingredients to make one loaf of bread cost $0.80.
What is the rate of cost of one loaf of bread?


B. What is your start up cost? (cost of machine)


C. Write a linear equation, y = mx + b for the total cost.


D. Graph the equation on the graph provided. You may use either Point Plotting or Slope-Intercept. Be sure to locate at least 3 points. You may want to do this in pencil in case you decide to use more points later in the problem.

cool question relying on real life scinarios

A.

1 loaf=inital cost for macine+cost per bread or
number of loaves=x
cost to make=y
y=100+0.8x
so to find 1 loaf, just subsitute 1 for x
y=100+.8(1)
y=100+0.8
y=100.80
1 loaf costs $100.80 to make

B.
start up cost is $100

C. linear equation is
start up cost+cost per loaf times loaf or
y=100+0.8x
in y=mx+b form
y=0.8x+100


C.
to find points, just subsitute values for x and get values for y (I used multiplules of 10 so that you wouldn't have to plot a decimal coordinate)

if we put it 0 for x, we get 100 for y
if we put in 10 for x, we get 108 for y
if we put in 20 for x, we get 116 for y
and of course don't use negative becasue you can't make negative amounts of bread
