Red is the positive integers and blue is the negative integer.
Answer:
Option A : y = 40x - 85 is the correct answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Cost of purchasing supplies = $85
Cost charged for cleaning a pool = $40
Let,
x be the number of pools cleaned.
y be the profit
Profit = Cost of pools cleaned - purchase price of supplies
y = 40x - 85
Hence,
Option A : y = 40x - 85 is the correct answer.
