Given:
yearly fee for a warehouse club membership = $100
reward rate = 4% on club purchases for the year
The linear equation that models the actual yearly cost of the membership:
[tex]\begin{gathered} y\text{ = 100 - 0.04x} \\ Where\text{ x represents the yearly amount of club purchases} \\ and\text{ y is the yearly cost in dollars} \end{gathered}[/tex](a) The actual yearly cost of the membership if the club purchases for the year are 2100
Here we have:
x = 2100.
We find y using the equation above:
[tex]\begin{gathered} y\text{ = 100 - 0.04 }\times\text{ 2100} \\ =\text{ 16} \end{gathered}[/tex]Answer : $16
(b) The amount of club purchases that would reduce the actual yearly cost of membership to $47
Here, we have:
y = $47
We find x using the equation above:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 47\text{ = 100 - 0.04x} \\ Collect\text{ like terms} \\ 47-100\text{ = -0.04x} \\ -0.04x\text{ = -53} \\ Divide\text{ both sides by -0.04} \\ x\text{ = }\frac{-53}{-0.04} \\ x\text{ = 1325} \end{gathered}[/tex]Answer: $1325
(c) The amount a member have to spend in yearly club purchases to reduce the yearly membership cost to $0
Here, we have y = $0
We find x using the equation:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 0\text{ = 100 -0.04x} \\ Collect\text{ like terms} \\ -0.04x\text{ = 0-100} \\ -0.04x\text{ = -100} \\ Divide\text{ both sides by -0.04} \\ x\text{ = \$2500} \end{gathered}[/tex]Answer: $2500
