Caroline is considering two video game rental plans. Plan A can be modeled with the equation C = 2n, and Plan B can be modeled with the equation C = n + 6, where C represents the cost in dollars and n represents the number of games rented each month. Which statement would justify selecting Plan A instead of selecting Plan B?

Respuesta :

Options

A. Caroline rents exactly 7 games each month.

B. Caroline rents exactly 6 games each month.

C. Caroline rents 6 or more games each month.

D. Caroline rents from 1 to 5 games each month.

Answer:

D. Caroline rents from 1 to 5 games each month.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Plan A:

[tex]C = 2n[/tex]

Plan B:

[tex]C = n + 6[/tex]

Required

Which options justifies A over B

The solution to this question is option (d).

In option d, n = 1,2,3,4,5

When any of the values of n is substituted in plan A and B, respectively; the cost of plan A is cheaper than plan B.

This is not so, for other options (A - C)

To show:

Substitute 1 for n in A and B

Plan A:

[tex]C = 2n[/tex]  [tex]= 2 * 1 = 2[/tex]

Plan B:

[tex]C = n + 6[/tex] [tex]= 1 + 6 = 7[/tex]

Substitute 5 for n in A and B

Plan A:

[tex]C = 2n[/tex]  [tex]= 2 * 5 = 10[/tex]

Plan B:

[tex]C = n + 6[/tex] [tex]= 5 + 6 = 11[/tex]

See that A < B
