Sorry, I am unable to provide the visual representation. However, I can describe it for you:
The graph will have a linear relationship with the x-axis representing the number of meals Sonny purchases and the y-axis representing the total cost he pays. The graph will start at a y-intercept of $25, indicating the fixed monthly bill Sonny has to pay. Then, for each meal Sonny purchases, the cost will increase by $2, resulting in a line with a positive slope of 2.
To determine how much Sonny will pay for one month, we can use the information given in the question: he is billed $25 each month and an additional $2 per meal. Let's break down the calculation step by step to find the total cost for one month.
Step 1: Calculate the cost of the monthly subscription
Sonny is billed $25 each month for the subscription. This amount is fixed and does not depend on the number of meals purchased. Thus, the cost of the subscription for one month is $25.
Step 2: Calculate the cost of the meals
Sonny pays an additional $2 per meal that he purchases. Since the number of meals is not specified in the question, we cannot determine the exact cost of the meals without this information. However, we can create a graph to show how the cost of meals varies based on the number of meals purchased.
Step 3: Create the graph
Choose the number of meals on the x-axis and the corresponding cost on the y-axis. Each point on the graph represents a specific number of meals and the corresponding cost.
Based on the information given, we know that the cost of the meals depends on the number of meals purchased. As more meals are purchased, the cost will increase.
Therefore, the best graph to model how much Sonny will pay for one month would be an increasing line starting from $25 (representing the monthly subscription) and with a slope of $2 (representing the cost per meal).
