• John was able to make $280 as a result of working 40 hours in a single week. I found this value by using the first equation in the piecewise function.

• John was able to make $280 as a result of working 40 hours in a single week.I found this value by using the second equation in the piecewise function.

Luke has a $25 gift card to pay for video game rentals. Which piecewise-defined 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
