INTERPRETING LINEAR MODELS SAT CLASS - 13

PROBLEMS

is the number of days that have passed since the aquarium was last refilled. Based on
the model, how does the water level change each day?

A) Decreases by 3 feet B) Increases by 3 feet


C) Decreases by 100 feet D) Increases by 100 feet

2) The number of loaves of bread b remaining in a bakery each day can be estimated
by the equationb=200−18 h, where h is the number of hours that have passed since the
store’s opening. What is the meaning of the value 18 in this equation?

3) A membership website offers video tutorials on programming. The number of


members‘ m ’, subscribed to the site can be estimated by the equation ¿ 500+200 n , where n
is the number of videos available on the site. Based on the equation, which of the
following statement is true?

B) The site initially made 200 videos available to members
C) The site was able to get 500 members without any available videos.
D) The site gains 500 new members for every 200 additional videos available on the site.

4) A bank teller uses the equation y=1.30 x−1.50 to exchange U.S dollars in to Euros,
where y is the Euro amount and x is the U.S. dollar amount. Which of the following is the
best interpretation of the 1.50 in the equation?

A)The bank charges 1.50 Euros to do the currency exchange.


B) The bank charges 1.50 U.S dollars to do the currency exchange.
