Task
Lenard bought a brand new truck for $26,655. This truck will help him move more items from place to place easier. When Lenard bought the truck he made a down payment of $5,000. He will be making monthly payments of $355. However, Lenard is wondering how many months it will take him to pay off his truck.
Given the information above, Lenard’s situation is represented in function notation:
f(x) = -$355x + $21,655, where x is represented in months.
- Evaluate Lenard’s function by using the x-input values in the table below to find the y-values of the function. Show your work for each x values you substitute into on a separate sheet of paper and attached to this work sheet.
Part 2:
In the space below, write a statement for Lenard and explain to him how many months it would take him to pay off his truck. Show algebraically that the months that you found is the correct amount of months to pay off his truck.
