Lara has $5 but needs more money to buy a new bike. She decides to mow lawns in the neighborhood for $10 apiece to earn money. Which of the following tables shows the amount of money Lara will have , y, if she mows x lawns?
Lara earns $10 per lawn, so the amount of money she will have, y, depends on the number of lawns she mows, x. Thus, the table should show the values of x in one column and the corresponding values of y in another column.
Possible options for the table could be:
Option 1:
|x (number of lawns)|y (amount of money)|
|---|---|
|0|$5|
|1|$15|
|2|$25|
|3|$35|
|4|$45|
Option 2:
|x (number of lawns)|y (amount of money)|
|---|---|
|0|$5|
|1|$10|
|2|$15|
|3|$20|
|4|$25|
Option 3:
|x (number of lawns)|y (amount of money)|
|---|---|
|0|$5|
|1|$10|
|2|$20|
|3|$30|
|4|$40|
These are just a few possible options for the table. The correct table would depend on the specific problem or context given in the question.
