How much (on average) does the carnival gain on each play? (If the carnival looses money, enter a negative dollar amount)
Equations and Inequations
Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.
Linear Functions
A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.
This problem involves a carnival fishpond. Assume that the pond contains 110 fish: 91 green, 18 blue, and 1 silver. A contestant pays $0.60 to randomly catch one fish and receives $0.25 if the fish is green, $1.00 if the fish is blue, and $13.00 if the fish is silver.
