Question

Mary and Julie both have a goal of raising $1000 for charity. Mary raises $12 every 4 days. Julie raises $19 every 6 days. Will Mary or Julie reach her goal first? Explain.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$12/4= 3 dollars per day (Mary)

$19/6= 3.16 dollars per day (Julie)

Therefore, Julie earns more, and will reach her goal first.

Answer 2

Answer:

julie

Step-by-step explanation:

Mary would have a rise of 12 and a run of 4, making her slope, or rate of change, $3 a day. Julie would have a rise of 19 and a slope of 6, making her slope, or rate of change, $3.17 a day. Since Julie is raising money at a faster rate, she would get to the goal of $1000 first.
