The eighth-grade class at Jackson Middle School has a bake sale to earn money for an
end-of-year trip. At the bake sale, cookies sell for $0.50 each and brownies sell for $1.25 each. A total of $2,500 is needed for the trip. A function can be used to represent the numbers of cookies, x, and brownies, y, the eighth-grade class can sell to raise $2,500. Identify the x- and y-intercepts of the function. Explain the meaning of the x- and y-intercepts in the context of this situation.
