Using the graph provided, we must find how many rabbits correspond to a cost of $20.
To find the number of rabbits, we look for the value $20 on the vertical axis, then we follow a horizontal line to the curve, and then we go down vertically to the horizontal axis. We find that the number of rabbits is 5.
We see that we have a linear relationship between the number of rabbits and its cost. If 5 rabbits cost $20, each rabbit costs $20/5 = $4 (we can also find this value looking at the graph).
Using the cost of each rabbit, we have that:
• 5 rabbits cost $4 * 5 = $20,
,
• 8 rabbits cost $4 * 8 = $32,
,
• 12 rabbIts cost $4 * 12 = $48.
Answer
5 rabbits cost $20,
8 rabbits cost $32,
12 rabbIts cost $48.
