solution

Each column in the table describes a restaurant. The top number tells you the restaurant's rating, and the bottom number tells you the cost of the most popular menu item.

Restaurants in Pewtertown
Rating	1	2	5	5	2	3	4	3
Cost	$10	$15	$50	$45	$20	$35	$40	$30

Write an ordered pair for each restaurant. Rating goes on the

x-axis,

so put the rating first. Cost goes on the

y-axis,

so put the cost of the most popular menu item second.

(1, 10)
(2, 15)
(5, 50)
(5, 45)
(2, 20)
(3, 35)
(4, 40)
(3, 30)

Finally, graph the ordered pairs.
