Question

Kate and Pamela share in the profits of a toy store. If the total profit is $65,000 and p is the amount Pamela receives, write an expression for the amount Kate receives.

Answer 1

Answer:

The profit received by Kate  =  $(65,000 -  p)

Step-by-step explanation:

The total amount of toy profit  = $65,000

The two partners of the toy company = 2

The amount of profit received  by Pamela = p

Let us assume the profit received by Kate  = k

Now, the amount of profit received by (Kate + Pamela) = $65,000

⇒  p +  k = $ 65,000

⇒ k =  $65,000 - p

or, the profit received by Kate  =  $65,000 -  p

Hence,  an expression for the amount Kate receives is $(65,000 -  p).
