A store sells packages of comic books with a poster. A poster and 6 comics cost $14.99. A poster and 14 comics cost $22.99. Write a linear function rule that models the cost y of a package containing any number x of comic books.
Suppose another store sells a similar package, modeled by a linear function rule with initial value $6.99. Use pencil and paper. Explain which store has the better deal.

in 2010, the population of the state of california is 37.29 × 10⁶

step-by-step explanation:

population of los angeles = 3.79 × 10⁶

population of california = 9.84 × population of los angeles

                                        = 9.84 × 3.79 × 10⁶

                                        = 37.2936 × 10⁶

                                        = 37.29 × 10⁶

∴ in 2010, the population of the state of california is 37.29 × 10⁶
