Let’s check out your problem:

A company orders boxed lunches from a deli, which all cost the same price. The relationship between the number of boxed lunches ordered, 
x, and the total cost in dollars of the lunches, 
y, is represented by a graph drawn in the xy-plane.
If the point 
(9,63) lies on the graph, what does the ordered pair 
(9,63) indicate?
9 lunches that cost 
$63.00 each
9 lunches that cost a total of 
$63.00
63 lunches that cost 
$9.00 each
63 lunches that cost a total of 
$9.00

Q. A company orders boxed lunches from a deli, which all cost the same price. The relationship between the number of boxed lunches ordered, x x , and the total cost in dollars of the lunches, y y , is represented by a graph drawn in the xy-plane.\newlineIf the point (9,63) (9,63) lies on the graph, what does the ordered pair (9,63) (9,63) indicate?\newline99 lunches that cost $63.00 \$ 63.00 each\newline99 lunches that cost a total of $63.00 \$ 63.00 \newline6363 lunches that cost $9.00 \$ 9.00 each\newline6363 lunches that cost a total of $9.00 \$ 9.00
  1. Understand Problem Context: Understand the context of the problem. The problem states that there is a linear relationship between the number of boxed lunches ordered (xx) and the total cost of the lunches (yy). The point (9,63)(9,63) lies on the graph representing this relationship.
  2. Interpret Ordered Pair: Interpret the ordered pair (9,63)(9,63). The first number in the ordered pair, 99, represents the number of boxed lunches ordered. The second number, 6363, represents the total cost in dollars of those lunches.
  3. Determine Indication: Determine what the ordered pair indicates.\newlineSince the first number is the quantity of lunches and the second number is the total cost, the ordered pair (9,63)(9,63) indicates that 99 lunches cost a total of $63.00\$63.00, not $63.00\$63.00 each.
  4. Eliminate Incorrect Options: Eliminate incorrect options based on the interpretation.\newline- 99 lunches that cost $63.00\$63.00 each would mean the total cost is 9×$63.009 \times \$63.00, which is not the case.\newline- 6363 lunches that cost $9.00\$9.00 each would mean the total cost is 63×$9.0063 \times \$9.00, which is not the case.\newline- 6363 lunches that cost a total of $9.00\$9.00 is not consistent with the ordered pair (9,63)(9,63).
