- a) the equation is y = (1/2)x
plug in x = 1
y = 1/2 = 0.5
hence $0.5
b) 1/2 = 0.5
Talia: y = 1.25x
Gigi: y = 0.5x
1.25 > 0.5
so Talia is earning faster
1.25 - 0.5 = 0.75
$0.75 more per item Talia is earning
c) Talia: y = 1.25(4) = 5
Gigi: 5 = 0.5x -> x = 10
so 10 cups of lemonade
d) Talia: y = 1.25(5) = 6.25
Gigi: y = 0.5(5) = 2.5
6.25 - 2.5 = 3.75
so $3.75
e) 2 dozen = 2 × 12 = 24
Talia: y = 1.25 × 24 = 30
Gigi: y = 0.5 × 60 = 30
Both earned same amount
Both earned $30
