Three problems use linear relationships: contractor pricing based on square feet, sugar cost based on pounds, and candy pieces based on number of boxes. Each situation provides values from a table and an equation (y in terms of x). The key supplies the computed totals and the final comparison requested, including identifying the cheapest option and determining the piece-per-box difference between companies.",{"@graph":14,"@context":72},[15,34,55],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/exam/","Exam",3,{"item":32,"name":10,"@type":21,"position":33},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/comparing-measurement-with-tables-and-equations-answer-key/465807/",4,{"url":32,"name":10,"@type":35,"image":36,"author":41,"headline":10,"publisher":44,"fileFormat":47,"inLanguage":8,"description":12,"dateModified":48,"datePublished":49,"encodingFormat":47,"isAccessibleForFree":50,"interactionStatistic":51},"DigitalDocument",{"url":37,"@type":38,"width":39,"height":40},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/comparing-measurement-with-tables-and-equations-answer-key/465807.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":42,"@type":43},"Hazel","Person",{"url":19,"name":45,"@type":46},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-11-03","2026-09-30",true,{"@type":52,"interactionType":53,"userInteractionCount":26},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":54},"ViewAction",{"@type":56,"mainEntity":57},"FAQPage",[58,64,68],{"name":59,"@type":60,"acceptedAnswer":61},"How are the contractors’ prices modeled in the problems?","Question",{"text":62,"@type":63},"Contractor A’s price is given in a table by square feet to total price, while Contractor B’s price is given by an equation with y as total price and x as square feet.","Answer",{"name":65,"@type":60,"acceptedAnswer":66},"What does y represent in the sugar and candy equations?",{"text":67,"@type":63},"In the sugar problem, y represents total cost in dollars for x pounds of sugar.
