1. Let <em>y</em> represent the amount of money earned, and <em>x</em> the number of cars they wash. Then
<em>y</em> = 5<em>x</em>
Why? Each car wash costs $5. So no car washes means no earnings; 1 car wash earns $5; 2 washes earn $10; 3 washes earn $15, and so on, so that <em>x</em> car washes generate $5<em>x</em>.
2. No matter how many cars they end up washing, they will have spent $75 to set up the operation, so you subtract 75 from the equation is part (1).
3. Taking into account the setup cost of $75, the profit they make is given by
<em>y</em> = 5<em>x</em> - 75
4. When <em>x</em> = 0, meaning no cars get washed, the profit is -$75, meaning the team loses $75.
5. Set the profit function equal to 0 and solve for <em>x</em> :
5<em>x</em> - 75 = 0
5<em>x</em> = 75
<em>x</em> = 75/5
<em>x</em> = 15
So the team has to wash at least 15 cars to break even.
Answer:
$103.75
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
Karen earns $62.25 for working 9 hour
so
using proportion
Find out how much she will earn for working 15 hours
The constant of proportionality is 5. For every time the total area "A" is multiplied by one the length is multiplied by 5.
0 if it is parellel to the x axis then the slope is 0
Each number is adding 3 to get the next one. We can test this by applying this rule to the sequence of numbers.
24+3=27✅
27+3=30✅
30+3=33✅
This method is correct, so all we have to do is apply it to the last number to get the next one.
33+3=36
Hope this helps!
