Q. In order to raise money for the school dance, students in leadership class are collecting cans to recycle. When they recycle xx bags of cans, they make f(x)f(x) dollars to put toward the dance.\newlineWhat does f(20)=60f(20) = 60 tell you?\newlineChoices:\newline(A) The students make $20\$20 when they recycle 6060 bags of cans.\newline(B) The students make $60\$60 when they recycle 2020 bags of cans.
  1. Understand function and variable: Understand the function f(x)f(x) and the variable xx. The function f(x)f(x) represents the amount of money, in dollars, that the students make from recycling xx bags of cans. The variable xx represents the number of bags of cans recycled.
  2. Interpret function value: Interpret the given function value f(20)=60f(20) = 60. The function value f(20)=60f(20) = 60 tells us that when the students recycle 2020 bags of cans, they make 6060 dollars.
  3. Choose correct option: Choose the correct option based on the interpretation of the function value.\newlineBased on the interpretation from Step 22, the correct option is:\newline(B) The students make $60\$60 when they recycle 2020 bags of cans.
