x = number of ice blocks
y = number of boxes of paper cones
3x = cost of ice blocks
4y = cost of boxes of paper cones
3x + 4y = 100
This is a linear function
If y is 0, the x = 33 blocks of ice.

asked 07/31/20You are given the task of opening a snow cone stand at your local high school football game. You are given $100 to buy needed supplies for the stand. You still need to purchase the ice blocks for $3.00 a block and the paper cones that cost $4.00 for a box of 30.
a) Write an equation that represents different ways you could buy the ice blocks and paper cones.
b) Draw a graph that represents what you have written down for question a.
c) Is this a linear function?
d) If a parent donated several boxes of paper cones so you no longer needed to buy any, how many blocks of ice could you buy?
