The answer is 13. To figure this out I used 10 notebooks sold as a guide. I knew the answer could not be 10, because $27.95/10 was not a number stopping in the hundredths place (or a true money amount).
I tried numbers greater than 10 using a trial and error strategy until I got to 13 notebooks sold and found that it $27.95 was divisible by 13 to get an answer between $2 and $3 ($2.15 exactly).
Its depends on how many times you score during the game
in second game the number of points increases as a geometric sequence
with common ratio 2
so for example if you score ten times in first game you get 2000 points
if you score 10 times in Game 2 you score 2 * (2^10) - 1 = 2046 points
so playing 10 or more games is best with Game 2. Any less plays favours gane 1.
Answer is
<span>g(x) = 2.5x + 25
</span>5 newspapers, 2.5(5) + 25 = 12.5 + 25 = 37.5
20 newspapers, 2.5(20) + 25 = 50 + 25 = 75
