Q. Each student in Mr. Ricardo's class has one camera that holds 320 pictures. He asks each student to delete 41 of the pictures and turn in the rest. Which of the following functions best represents the number of pictures, p, that Mr. Ricardo will collect depending on the number of cameras, c, that his students have?
Determine fraction of pictures: Determine the fraction of pictures each student will keep. Each student deletes 41 of their pictures, so they will keep 43 of their pictures.
Calculate pictures per camera: Calculate the number of pictures kept per camera.Since each camera holds 320 pictures, and each student keeps 43 of them, we calculate the number of pictures kept per camera as follows:Pictures kept per camera = 320×(43)
Perform calculation: Perform the calculation from Step 2.Pictures kept per camera = 320×(43)=240Each camera will have 240 pictures after the students delete 41 of them.
Write total pictures function: Write the function that represents the total number of pictures Mr. Ricardo will collect.Let p be the total number of pictures collected and c be the number of cameras.Since each camera contributes 240 pictures, the function is:p=240c
