Q. Mrs. Maynard is planning for a large dinner party, and she is trying to figure out how much food to serve. One of the side dishes is roasted potatoes. Her cookbook recommends serving f(x)f(x) ounces of potatoes for xx guests.\newlineWhat does f(30)=150f(30) = 150 tell you?\newlineChoices:\newline(A) Mrs. Maynard should serve 150150 ounces of potatoes if there are 3030 guests.\newline(B) Mrs. Maynard should serve 3030 ounces of potatoes if there are 150150 guests.
  1. Understand function and xx: Understand the function f(x)f(x) and what xx represents.\newlineThe function f(x)f(x) represents the recommended serving size in ounces of potatoes for xx guests.\newlinexx represents the number of guests.
  2. Interpret given information: Interpret the given information using the function.\newlineWe are given f(30)=150f(30) = 150. This means that for 3030 guests, the recommended serving size is 150150 ounces of potatoes.
  3. Match interpretation to choice: Match the interpretation to the correct choice.\newlineBased on the interpretation from Step 22, the correct choice is:\newline(A) Mrs. Maynard should serve 150150 ounces of potatoes if there are 3030 guests.
