Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression representing the amount of money that the photographer would make from selling 10 copies is given as

10(0.75p - 0.5)

where p represents the price determined for each copy. Assuming the price charged per copy is $5, then the amount made from 10 copies is

10(0.75 × 5 - 0.5) = $32.5

It could have been

10(5 - 0.5) = $45

The price is being reduced by 25%(100 - 75)

Therefore, the option that most likely describes the agreement between the online service company and the photographer is

A. The company keeps 25% of the amount paid for each copy and charges the photographer $0.50 for every copy purchased.
