The cost of 10eggs is Rs.8
 
Thus the cost of one eg, C o s t space o f space o n e space e g g equals R e.4 over 5
Let x represents the number of eggs and y represents the total cost of x eggs.
 
Thus the linear equation represents this transaction is y equals 4 over 5 x
Let us observe the following graph:
 
The points P and Q represent the points when the number of eggs are 15 and 16 respectively.
 
Draw perpendiculars, PM and QN to y-axis.
 
Thus, M and N represent the total cost of 15 and 16 eggs respectively.
 
By reading the graph, the cost of 15 eggs is Rs.12
 
And the cost of 16 eggs is Rs.12.8
