Desmos Active:

A football team has won 6 of the 11 games played. How many consecutive wins does the team need to raise their winning percentage to 75%?

Include a screen shot of your Desmos work.

Fitness
A manufacturer makes and sells fitness trackers. The average profit per fitness tracker A(x) can be calculated using the ratio of the profit to the number of fitness trackers sold:

1

The profit is equal to the revenue of the fitness trackers R(x) = 120x minus the cost of the fitness trackers C(x) = 1250 - 55x. Write a rational function to model the average profit A(x) in terms of x.

1

State the domain of the function for the situation it represents.

1

Using Desmos, sketch a graph of the average profit per fitness tracker. After how many sales will the average profit be more than $120 per fitness tracker?

Paste a screen shot of your Desmos work.
