Tama and Pita have three different babysitters to choose from: Matt, Talia, and Sasha.

(a) The graph of the amounts that Matt and Talia charge is shown below.

(i) How much would Matt be paid if he babysits for 4.5 hours?

(ii) Once Matt has babysat for 5 or more hours, he increases his charge for the additional
hours to $15 an hour or part of an hour that he babysits.

On the grid above, show the amount Matt would charge if he babysits for 5 or more
hours.

(iii) Find the average amount Matt charges per hour if he babysits for 6 hours.

(iv) Talia charges an average of $10 per hour for any amount of time that she works.
This is shown on the graph above with the red line.

Give the equation of the graph.

(b) A new fun park was very popular when it opened. In the first three months, an average of ASSESSOR’S
USE ONLY
4000 people visited the park each month.
After the first three months, the attendance began to drop by approximately 15% each month
for the next nine months.
After the first three months, the approximate number of visitors to the park can be modelled by:
P = 4000 × 0.85 n–3, where n is the number of months since the park opened.

(i) Complete the table below showing the approximate number of people who visited the
fun park during each month for the first year.

(iii) At the end of the month that the number of visitors dropped below 2000 for the first ASSESSOR’S
USE ONLY
time, the management decided to open only on weekends.

Find how many months of the year the park was open only on the weekends, and
explain by using the features of the graph, how this information can be found.

(iv) In the second year, more people visit the park during the first three months.
As the year progresses, the number of people visiting the park declines at the same rate
as it did for the first year.
The managers want to limit to a maximum of 2 months, the period when the park is
running just on weekends.

What is the average number of people who would need to be visiting the park each
month in the first three months if this was to be achieved?
