Sorry, I cannot generate graphs as I am a text-based AI language model. However, I can help you understand the equation for calculating Sonny's monthly payment.
Let's define the number of meals Sonny purchases in a month as "m" (m can be any positive integer).
The equation to calculate Sonny's monthly payment (P) can be written as follows:
P = 25 + 2*m
Here's a breakdown of the equation:
- The fixed monthly fee is $25, which is added to Sonny's bill regardless of the number of meals he purchases.
- Sonny also pays $2 per meal, so he'll have to multiply the number of meals (m) by $2 and add it to the fixed fee.
By plugging in different values for m, you can calculate Sonny's monthly payment.
For example:
- If Sonny purchases 0 meals in a month, his payment would be $25 (only the fixed fee).
- If Sonny purchases 5 meals in a month, his payment would be $25 + (2 * 5) = $35.
- If Sonny purchases 10 meals in a month, his payment would be $25 + (2 * 10) = $45.
Now, I hope you can visualize the relationship between the number of meals and Sonny's monthly payment.
