Let's first establish what we already know for this problem.
x = total number of hotdogs sold
y = total profit from total sales of hotdogs
Let's also establish the other equations which we will require in order to solve this problem.
Equation No. 1 -
Profit for 40 hotdogs = $90 profit
Equation No. 2 -
Profit for 80 hotdogs = $210 profit
STEP-BY-STEP SOLUTION
From this, we can use the formula y = mx + b & substitute the values for x & y from one of the two previous equations into the formula in order to obtain the values of m & b for the final equation. Here is an example of the working out as displayed below:
Firstly, using the first or second equation, we make either m or b the subject. Here I have used the first equation and made m the subject:
Equation No. 1 -
y = mx + b
90 = m ( 40 ) + b
40m = 90 - b
m = ( 90 - b ) / 40
Now, make b the subject in the second equation as displayed below:
Equation No. 2 -
y = mx + b
210 = m ( 80 ) + b
210 = 80m + b
b = 210 - 80m
Then, substitute m from the first equation into the second equation.
Equation No. 2 -
b = 210 - 80m
b = 210 - 80 [ ( 90 - b ) / 40 ]
b = 210 - [ 80 ( 90 - b ) / 40 ]
b = 210 - 2 ( 90 - b )
b = 210 - 180 - 2b
b - 2b = 30
- b = 30
b = - 30
Now, substitute b from the second equation into the first equation.
Equation No. 1 -
m = ( 90 - b ) / 40
m = ( 90 - ( - 30 ) / 40
m = ( 90 + 30 ) / 40
m = 120 / 40
m = 3
Through this, we have established that:
m = 3
b = - 30
Therefore, the final equation to model the final profit, y, based on the number of hotdogs sold, x, is as follows:
y = mx + b
y = ( 3 )x + ( - 30 )
ANSWER:
y = 3x - 30

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The original fraction is 13/27
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the fraction be x/y. This means that the numerator is x and the denominator is y.
One-fifth of the sum of the numerator and the denominator of a particular fraction is 8. This means that
1/5 (x+y) = 8
Cross multiplying with 5,
x+y = 5×8 = 40 - - - - - - - -1
If the numerator is subtracted from 22, the original fraction becomes 1/3. This means that
(22-x)/y = 1/3
Cross multiplying with y and 3,
3(22-x) = y×1
66-3x = y - - - - - -2
Substituting y = 66-3x into equation 1, it becomes
x + 66 - 3x = 40
x -3x = 40-66
-2x = -26
x = 26/2 = 13
y = 40 - x = 40 - 13
= 27
The original fraction is 13/27
