For the next graph, follow these instructions:
a. | Place counters along the x-axis at each integer value between and including -3 and +3. | |
b. | At each point, multiply the x value by itself, then subtract 2 from the result. Move the counter vertically to the result. |

Problem D11 |
|

Joe buys coffee and donuts for the office each week. The local donut shop always charges the same amount for each cup of coffee and for each donut. One week, Joe bought 12 donuts and 6 cups of coffee, and the total was $15.00. The next week, Joe bought 7 donuts and 6 cups of coffee, and the total was $11.50. Use this information to figure out how much each cup of coffee and each donut costs.

What did each of Joe's trips have in common? What changed? How does this change help you find the price of each item? Close Tip
