Problema Solution
Nick plans to start a home-based business producing and selling gourment dog treats. He figures it will cost $20 in operation costs per week plus $0.50 to produce each treat. He plans to sell each treat for $1.50
Answer provided by our tutors
let 'w' represent the number of weeks the business is open
let 'x' represent the number of treats
total costs:
20w + 0.5x
total revenue (assuming all treats sell):
1.5x
profit, P, could be expressed as:
P = 1.5x - (20w + 0.5x)
P = x - 20w
...otherwise, this problem really does not ask any question, so take the equation for profit and work with it
