Question

hill street theater
the equation for the line of best fit is ( y = 0.8x + 30 ). according to the equation, which of these statements is true?
on a day when the theater sells 600 tickets, the snack stand would likely use about 480 ounces of butter.
on a day when the theater sells 550 tickets, the snack stand would likely use about 470 ounces of butter.

Explanation:

Step1: Substitute \(x = 600\) into \(y = 0.8x+30\)

$$y=0.8\times600 + 30=480 + 30=510$$

Step2: Substitute \(x = 550\) into \(y = 0.8x+30\)

$$y=0.8\times550+30=440 + 30=470$$

Answer:

On a day when the theater sells 550 tickets, the snack stand would likely use about 470 ounces of butter.
