Checkout Lines According to the article “How to Pick the Fastest Line at the Supermarket,” the amount of time (in seconds) you will be waiting in a checkout line has been approximated by Dan Meyer to be 41 seconds for each person in line ahead of you plus 3 seconds for each item ahead of you. (Data from: The New York Times, September 7,2016)
a. Find a formula
b. Find your waiting time in an express checkout line that has 5 people ahead of you, and each person has 10 items.
c. Find your waiting time in a regular checkout line that has only 2 people ahead of you, but each person has 40 items.
d. Is the express line in part (b) faster than the regular checkout line in part (c)?

It is subtracted after the income tax has been calculated. • Every person qualifies for primary rebate. Older people are granted additional rebate i.e. If you are older than 65 years of age you will receive Primary and secondary rebate; If you are over 75 years you will receive primary, secondary, and tertiary rebate. Tax rebate type Primary (age below 65) Secondary (65 to 74) Tertiary (75 and older) 2021 R14 958 2022 R15 714 R8 199 R8 613 R2 736 R2 871 • TAX THRESHOLD…arrow_forward
