The graph shows the price, in dollars, of different numbers of sweet breads at Alan's store. The table shows the price, in dollars, of different numbers of shortcakes at the same store.

Shortcake





Number
of Shortcake Price of Shortcake


5 45
10 90
15 135
20 180


How many dollars more is the price of a shortcake than the price of a sweet bread at David's store?
$4
$5
$9
$25

Answer 1

If you look at the pictures the question gives you. 5 shortcakes = 45$

5 sweetbreads = 20$.

So you would divide 45 by 5, which gives u 9

Then you would divide 20 by 5, which gives you 4.

Then after you would subtract 9 by 4, which gives you 5$

So your answer for this question would be 5$.

Answer 2

For the table, y = 9x.

so the price of a short cake is $9


For the graph, y = 4x
so the price of a sweet bread is $4

9-4 = 5

the short cake is $5 more than the sweet bread
