1. **Problem:** A local print shop charges 0.10 per page to print black and white documents with no flat rate. Find the algebraic model and complete the table.
2. **Formula:** Cost $C$ is proportional to pages $p$ printed, so
$$C = 0.10p$$
3. **Table calculation:**
- For $p=0$, $C=0.10 \times 0 = 0$
- For $p=10$, $C=0.10 \times 10 = 1$
- For $p=20$, $C=0.10 \times 20 = 2$
- For $p=30$, $C=0.10 \times 30 = 3$
- For $p=40$, $C=0.10 \times 40 = 4$
- For $p=50$, $C=0.10 \times 50 = 5$
4. **Graph shape:** A straight line through the origin with slope 0.10 rising to the top-right.
1. **Problem:** Bella’s Cell Plan includes a monthly base fee of 10 plus 0.20 per minute of usage. Find the algebraic model and complete the table.
2. **Formula:** Total cost $C$ is base fee plus usage cost:
$$C = 10 + 0.20m$$
where $m$ is minutes used.
3. **Table calculation:**
- For $m=0$, $C=10 + 0.20 \times 0 = 10$
- For $m=10$, $C=10 + 0.20 \times 10 = 12$
- For $m=20$, $C=10 + 0.20 \times 20 = 14$
- For $m=30$, $C=10 + 0.20 \times 30 = 16$
- For $m=40$, $C=10 + 0.20 \times 40 = 18$
- For $m=50$, $C=10 + 0.20 \times 50 = 20$
4. **Graph shape:** A straight line with y-intercept 10 and positive slope 0.20 rising in bottom-right.

**Final answers:**
**1. Print shop cost model:**
$$C = 0.10p$$
| p (pages) | C (cost) |
|-----------|----------|
| 0 | 0 |
| 10 | 1 |
| 20 | 2 |
| 30 | 3 |
| 40 | 4 |
| 50 | 5 |
**2. Bella’s Cell Plan cost model:**
$$C = 10 + 0.20m$$
| m (minutes) | C (cost) |
|-------------|----------|
| 0 | 10 |
| 10 | 12 |
| 20 | 14 |
| 30 | 16 |
| 40 | 18 |
