### Problem 4

Elena and Jada distribute flyers for different advertising companies. Elena gets paid 65 cents for every 10 flyers she distributes, and Jada gets paid 75 cents for every 12 flyers she distributes.

Draw graphs on the coordinate plane representing the total amount each of them earned, $$y$$, after distributing $$x$$ flyers. Use the graph to decide who got paid more after distributing 14 flyers.
