Part V. Sponsorship
MTV regularly has offers from companies for “Product Placement” in their reality shows. Companies will
pay MTV, and you, to if their products appear in the show. Coca Cola, Pepsi and Snapple have both
agreed to pay participants if their products appear on the show, but participants must choose only one
deal. The amount depends on the length of your trip.
Use the information to find an equation (y=mx+b) for the amount of Sponsorship Money (y) you
can make for each day of the trip. Show your work and explain your steps below.
