Alex makes ceramic bowls to sell at a monthly craft fair in a nearby city. Every month, she spends $50 on materials for the bowl
s from a local art store. At the fair, she sells each completed bowl for a total of $25 including tax. Which equation expresses Alex's profit as a function of the number of bowls that she sells in one month. 1) p(x) = 50x+25
2) p(x) = 15x+25
3) p(x) = 25x
4) p(x) = 25x-50
The answer is p(x) = 25x - 50 profit = total selling price- cost x = number of bowls he must sell to make a profit if he sell 1 bowl he will make a lost 2 bowls even up thus he must sells 3 bowls or more to make a profit
These 'l l' lines mean absolute value. essentially it's asking how many units away from 0 a number is. Because of this all absolute values are positive numbers
