Question

Camille bought 120 doughnuts for $60. Her profit was $48 once she sold 80 doughnuts. Write an

Answer 1

The equation that represents Camille's profit p as a function of the number of doughnuts sold, n is P = 1.35n - 60

How to represent an equation ?

She bought 120 doughnuts for $60.

Therefore,

cost  = $60

Her profit was $48 once she sold 80 doughnuts.

p = profit

n = number of doughnuts sold.

Therefore,

let

x = amount she is selling each doughnuts

p = nx - 60

Using the information given we have:

48 = (80x) - 60

Therefore,

x = $1.35

Hence, for any number of doughnuts then, we have the profit equation as follows:

P = 1.35n - 60
