This week, michael collected $468 for delivering newspapers. he had 40 repeat customers and 18 new ones. as an incentive, he charged the new subscribers $3 less than the repeat customers. if x represents the amount michael collects from each repeat customer, which equation models this problem?

18z + 40x = 468

z = x-3 because they get charge 3 less

x = value repeat customers pay

18(x-3) + 40x = 468

distribute the 18

18x - 54 + 40x = 468

simplify

x=9

New customers = 9

because new get charged three less they get charged 6

describing distributions is one of the key skills you’ll need to earn a high score on the ap statistics exam. if you need proof of this, just flip through some past exam questions, which can be found at the collegeboard website. you’ll notice that the first free response question is almost always a question requiring you to look at a graph and describe it.
