Work Step by Step

1. If it has 60,000 visits a day: 60,000 visits : $x = 60$. $0 \leq 60 \leq 100$, so, we are going to use the first function: $s(x) = 1.55x$ - Substitute the value for "x": $s(x) = 1.55(60) = 93$ 2. If it has 100,000 visits a day: 100,000 visits : $x = 100$. $0 \leq 100 \leq 100$, so, we are going to use the first function: $s(x) = 1.55x$ - Substitute the value for "x": $s(x) = 1.55(100) = 155$ 3. If it has 160,000 visits a day: 160,000 visits : $x = 160$. $100 \leq 160 \leq 250$, so, we are going to use the second function: $s(x) = 1.75x - 20$ - Substitute the value for "x": $s(x) = 1.75(160) - 20 = 260$
