Here's a question on my daughter's 7th grade math quiz:

5. On Saturdays, Jimmy likes to go to the mall to play video games or
pinball. Round-trip bus fare to and from the mall is $1.80. Jimmy
spends $.50 for each video or pinball game.

a. Write an equation for the amount of money, M, it costs Jimmy to go
to the mall and play N video or pinball games.

b. What is the coefficient tell you about this situation?

c. What does the coefficient tell you about this situation?

d. What is the y-intercept of the line?

e. What does the y-intercept tell you about the situation?

f. How much will it cost Jimmy to travel to the mall and play 6 video
or pinball games? Show work!

g. If Jimmy has $6.50, how many video or pinball games can he play at
the mall? Show work!

If Jimmy knows his shiznit, he maxes out the credits in the first
hour, sells them off at fifty cents each or 3 games for a dollar then
plays doubles while continuing to rape the high score board. A visit
or two to the food court cuts into the profits.

Jimmy takes a cab home for $7, gives the driver a $10 bill - tells him
to keep the change and has more money than when he left the house!

The work is on the High Score leader board, the profits are in the
food court, the cabbies pocket, and Jimmy's pocket. If it is only
Saturday Jimmy can repeat the whole sequence tomorrow!
