Answer 1

Answer:

(8, 25) and (14, 50)

Step-by-step explanation:

Total cost of a set of cards = price per unit x number of cards

                                             = p x n

Thus, the total cost of printing each set of cards depends on the price per unit and number of cards. So that it can be represented in ordered pair as: (p, n).

For the first set of greeting cards,

the cost of printing a card = $8.0

number of cards printed = 25

This can be represented in ordered pair as (8, 25)

                                                 

For the second set of greeting cards,

the cost of printing a card = $14.0

number of cards printed = 50

This can be represented in ordered pair as (14, 50)

Thus, the two ordered pairs that can represent the situations are (8, 25) and (14, 50).
