+39 A shipping center, N-Advance, has 320 items from premium customers that are guaranteed an early delivery on a particular day. Additionally, for every 20 items that will be delivered for standard customers, three of those items are expected to be delivered early. Part A: Write an equation to represent the situation. Identify the meaning of all variables used. Part B: What would an increase in the y-intercept represent? Part C: Create a second equation for a shipping center without premium customers, within the same company, with a higher proportion of total deliveries to early deliveries. Does this equation have the same intercept and slope? Explain your reasoning.

You question is open to different interpretaions.
A)
I would let y = the number of early deliveries and x be the number of standard customers (orders)
$$y=320+\frac{3x}{20}$$
B)
More y means more ealy deliveries, this would happen if there were more standard cutomer (orders)
C)
y= kx where k can be any number greater that $${\frac{{\mathtt{3}}}{{\mathtt{20}}}}$$
the slope for this line would be steeper than the other one because the gradient is bigger.
