The amount Lea can earn at her job is shown:
She earns $7 per hour for the first 40 hours.
She earns 1.5 times the hourly wage for every hour over 40 hours.
Which piecewise-defined function best represents Lea’s weekly pay, P(h), where h represents the hours worked?
P(h)= 7h, 0≤h≤40
P(h)=10.5h−140, h>40
P(h)= 7h, 0<h<40
P(h)= 10.5h−140, h>40
P(h)= 7h, 0≤h≤40
P(h)= 10.5h+140, h≥40
P(h)= 7h, 0<h<40
P(h)= 10.5h+140, h≥40

Luke has a $25 gift card to pay for video game rentals. The first five games he can rent for $3 each. After five games each game cost $1. Which piecewise function best represents the balance remaining on the gift card, f(x), after each game rental, x?
f(x)= 25−3x, 0≤x≤5
f(x)= 15−x, 6≤x≤10
f(x)= 25−3x, 0<x<5
f(x)= 15−x, 6<x<10
f(x)= 25+3x, 0≤x≤5
f(x)= 15+x, 6≤x≤10
f(x)= 25+3x, 0<x<5
f(x)=15+x, 6<x<10
