Pam is making goody bags for her little brother's birthday party. She has 100 small toys and puts 4 in each bag. She also has 48 large toys and puts 2 in each bag.
Which function describes the total number of toys Pam has left after making x goody bags?
Let f(x) be the total number of toys Pam has left after making x goody bags.
Each goody bag contains 4 small toys and 2 large toys, so each goody bag contains a total of 4 + 2 = 6 toys.
After making x goody bags, Pam will have used up a total of 6x toys.
Therefore, the total number of toys Pam has left after making x goody bags can be represented by the function:
f(x) = 100 - 4x + 48 - 2x
Simplified, this becomes:
f(x) = 148 - 6x
