Question

The concession stand at a ballpark makes $0.43 profit from each hot dog sold. It also makes a profit of $0.65 from each pretzel sold and $1.31 from each drink sold. Which expression represents the total profit, in dollars, that the stand will make on a day when they sell h hot dogs, p pretzels, and d drinks?

Answer 1

Answer:

P = 0.43h + 0.65p + 1.31d  represents the total profit, in dollars that the stand will make on a day when they sell h hot dogs, p pretzels, and d drinks

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :  The concession stand at a ballpark makes $0.43 profit from each hot dog sold. It also makes a profit of $0.65 from each pretzel sold and $1.31 from each drink sold

We have to find an expression that represents the total profit, in dollars that the stand will make on a day.

Let the stand sells h hot dogs, p pretzels, and d drinks on a day

Since profit of one hot dog is $ 0.43

So , profit of h hot dogs is $ 0.43h

also, profit of one pretzels is $ 0.65

So , profit of p pretzels is $ 0.65p

also, profit of one drink is $1.31

So , profit of d drinks  is $ 1.31d

Total profit of a day is the total profit he earned from selling each item.

thus, total profit is given by equation

P = 0.43h + 0.65p + 1.31d

Thus, P = 0.43h + 0.65p + 1.31d  represents the total profit, in dollars that the stand will make on a day when they sell h hot dogs, p pretzels, and d drinks

Answer 2

0.43h + 0.65p + 1.31d = c

explanation:
h stands for hotdogs, p for pretzels, and d for drinks. c represents the total cost. 
each price next to the variable describes the profit per item.

hope this helps! :D
