Sure! Here's a word problem that involves a linear equation with a constant rate of change:

Problem:
Alice is training for a marathon. On her first day of training, she runs for 30 minutes and covers a distance of 5 kilometers. Each week, she increases her training time by 10 minutes. Assuming that Alice maintains a constant rate of change in the distance she covers per minute, how far will she run in 60 minutes of training in her fourth week?

Solution:
To solve this problem, we need to find the constant rate of change in the distance covered per minute.

First, let's calculate the rate of change in the distance covered per minute on the first day:
Rate of change = Distance / Time = 5 km / 30 min = 1/6 km/min

Since Alice increases her training time by 10 minutes each week, we can find the total training time in the fourth week:
Total training time in the fourth week = 30 min + (10 min * 3 weeks) = 30 min + 30 min = 60 min

Now, we can use the constant rate of change to calculate the distance Alice will run in 60 minutes of training in her fourth week:
Distance = Rate of change * Time = (1/6 km/min) * 60 min = 10 km

Answer:
Alice will run a distance of 10 kilometers in 60 minutes of training in her fourth week.

The Humane Society has asked for our help again this week. Currently they are charging $50 for an adoption fee. Unfortunately they just pulled this number out of the air and do not know why they are charging this amount. They would like to charge an amount that covers all the adoption costs – both the variable costs for adoptions as well as the fixed cost for the kennel portion of the Humane Shelter operations. We can help them by doing a breakeven analysis. During a client meeting we gathered these facts. There are 2 part-time employees that each earn $1000 per month. The utilities for the kennel area (water, electricity) are $200 per month. The average food cost for animals in the kennel is $800 per month. In addition, each animal that is adopted receives a rabies vaccination that costs $4 and is micro-chipped that costs $6. At the current cost of $50, how many animals must be adopted to break-even? What would break-even be at a $60 adoption fee? What would break-even be if the fee were lowered to $40? The newspaper has suggested that the Humane Society advertise to increase pet adoptions. The package that they have recommended costs $1000 for a very small ad run every day for a month. If the Humane Society does this extra advertising, how will it affect breakeven? Based on what you have learned about elasticity, what price do you recommend for the adoption fee?
