Question

Jackson mows lawns to make money. It costs him $7 each week to advertise his business. It costs him $1.50 in gas to mow each lawn, and he charges $10.00 for each lawn he mows. Write an equation to model the amount of profit, P, he makes from mowing x lawns in one week.

Answer 1

Lawns = L
Money he gets from mowing = M

M -  $7 - (L * $1.50) = P for 1 Week

Hope this helped :D
