Question

jasons dad paid the mechanic $550 for repairs on jasons pick - up. jason gave his dad $70 initially and will pay his dad $40 a week until he has repaid the full amount. which function can be used to find d, the amount that jason still owes his dad after w weeks? a d = 70 + 40w b d = 40w - 480 c d = 550 - 40w d d = 480 - 40w

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the initial debt

The total amount paid by Jason's dad is $550$, and Jason initially gave $70$. So the initial debt is $550 - 70=480$.

Step2: Analyze the payment per week

Jason pays $40$ per week. After $w$ weeks, the total amount he has paid is $40w$.

Step3: Form the function for the remaining debt

The remaining debt $d$ is the initial debt minus the amount paid in $w$ weeks. So $d = 480-40w$.

Answer:

C. \(d = 480 - 40w\)
