The amount of sports drink in a cooler during practice is modeled by the equation

y = 648 - 24x,

where y is the number of ounces in the cooler after practice and x is the number of players at practice who take drinks from the cooler.

Based on this information, select ALL of the statements which are true.

A. The cooler is meant to be used by only 24 players.

B. Before practice, there are 648 ounces of sports drink in the cooler.

C. For each additional player that takes a drink, there will be approximately 24 fewer ounces of sports drink remaining after practice.

D. If 24 players get drinks from the cooler, they will drink a total of 648 ounces of sports drink.

E. Each player drinks approximately 24 ounces of sports drink at practice.

B. Before practice, there are 648 ounces of sports drink in the cooler.

C. For each additional player that takes a drink, there will be approximately 24 fewer ounces of sports drink remaining after practice.

E. Each player drinks approximately 24 ounces of sports drink at practice.

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of sports drink in a cooler during practice is modeled by the equation:

y = 648 - 24x,

where:

y is the number of ounces in the cooler after practice; and x is the number of players at practice who take drinks from the cooler.

Option B

Before practice, when no player has taken a drink from the cooler, x=0

Therefore: y = 648 - 24x=648 - 24 (0) = 648 Ounces.

Before practice, there are 648 ounces of sports drink in the cooler.

Option C

When x=1, y = 648 - 24 (1) = 624 Ounces

When x=2, y = 648 - 24 (2) = 600 Ounces

Difference=624-600=24 Ounces

Therefore, for each additional player that takes a drink, there will be approximately 24 fewer ounces of sports drink remaining after practice.

Option E

As can be seen in Option C, after each additional player has taken a drink, there is 24 Ounces left, therefore we can conclude that each player drinks approximately 24 ounces of sports drink at practice.
