Introduction
The Fun Time Amusement Park has 3 deals. It is up to you to figure out which is the better deal.
Task
| Deal 1-Daily Rate | Deal 2-Silver Pass | Deal 3-Gold Member |
| It costs $25 a day to visit the amusement park. | It costs $60 for the pass but it only costs $10 a day to visit the amusement park. | It costs $120 for the pass but only $5 a day to visit the amusement park. |
Using the three deals above, find an equation to represent each deal. For example if a deal read "A pass costs $30 but only $20 a day to visit the amusement park" would result in an equation reading y=20x+30 because the pass costs an initial $30 but the total cost (y) is then dependent on how many days (x) a person visits the park.
Use the equations that you developed to create a table like the example below:

Use the data from your table to create a graph that has all three deals included on the same graph. You may use a piece of graph paper. Remember to label your axis and title your graph.
