Answer:
y = 1/2 + 1/4*x
Explanation:
Given that the front cover has a thickness of 1/4 an inch and back cover also has a thickness of 1/4 an inch, then, the addition of both gives to the book thickness of 1/4 + 1/4 = 1/2 inch, despite how many pages it has.
Given that for every hundred pages a thickness of 1/4 inch is added to the book, then the equation is:
y = 1/2 + 1/4*x
where y refers to the width of the book, and x refers to every hundred pages printed on bond paper. Y is measured in inches.
