Geppetto is a puppet maker. He starts the month with 3 puppets ready to sell, and makes 9 puppets per day.
Write an equation to model this situation (use
d for days and p for puppets).
Geppetto is a puppet maker. He starts the month with 11 puppets ready to sell, and makes 7 puppets per day.
p=9d+3 or
p=3+9d -> 3 ready plus 9 per day
Geppetto is a puppet maker. On the fifth day of the month, Geppetto had 32 puppets ready to sell. On the thirteenth day, he had 80 puppets.
What is his rate?
puppets per day
How many does he make every 7 days?
puppets
How many has he completed by the twentieth
To write an equation to model this situation, we need to consider the number of puppets Geppetto starts with and the number of puppets he makes per day.
Let's break down the information provided:
- Geppetto starts the month with 3 puppets ready to sell.
- He makes 9 puppets per day.
Based on this, we can establish that the number of puppets Geppetto has at a given day (d) is equal to the sum of the puppets he starts with (3) and the number of puppets he makes per day (9), multiplied by the number of days (d).
Therefore, the equation to model this situation is:
p = 3 + 9d
Where:
p represents the total number of puppets
d represents the number of days
I'll be glad to check your answer.
D = independent variable
P = dependent variable
3d+9p=x
