Paula has $10 and earns $0.50 per lap she runs for her school’s fundraiser. Jackie has $15 and earns $0.25 per lap she runs for her school’s fundraiser. After how many laps will Paula have more money than Jackie?

After 20 laps Paula will have more money than Jackie.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = Number of laps.

Given, Paula has $10 and earns $0.50 per lap she runs for her school’s fundraiser.

i.e. Total amount Paula has =$ [ 10 +0.50 (Number of laps)]

= $ [10+0.50x]

Jackie has $15 and earns $0.25 per lap she runs for her school’s fundraiser.

i.e. Total amount Jackie has =$ [ 15 +0.25 (Number of laps)]

= $ [15+0.25x]

When Paula has more money , then

Hence, after 20 laps Paula will have more money than Jackie.

what graph

step-by-step explanation:

the solution is x=1

step-by-step explanation:

we are given our   equation as

let's assume

left side function is

right side function is

now, we can draw graph

and then we can get intersection point

the intersection point will be solution

so, the solution is

x=1
