Question

The school store is selling student planners. It costs $2 each week to advertise the planners. The store buys each planner for $2.00 and sells them for $4.50 each. Write an equation to model the amount of profit, P, the school store makes from selling x student planners in one week.
A. P = 2.5x − 2
B. P = 4.5x − 2
C. P = 2x − 2
D. P = 2x + 2.50

Answer 1

The answer is A
You have 2.50x because they make 4.50 for each one but it cost the $2 to get it so 4.50-2.00 =2.50
You subtract 2 because of ow much it costs to advertise the planners

Answer 2

I think the answer is A p=2.5x-2
