Question

A parent volunteer group is raising money by making custom hats to sell at school activities. They plan to sell the hats for $12. Each hat costs $6 to make. They spent $50 for advertising. Use n to represent the number of hats they sell. Multiply this by the money they make for each hat, then subtract the advertising cost. Which expression represents the money that the group raises? A. 12 - 6n - 50 O B. (12-6) n - 50 O C. 12n – 6-50 O D. 50 – (12 – 6)

Answer 1

Answer:

B. (12-6) n - 50

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Cost of making hat = $6 per hat

Selling price = $12 per hat

Advert cost = $50

Number of hats made = n

The profit or money raised from the sales of hat:

Total Revenue from sales - total cost of production - advert cost

Total Revenue from sales = ($12 * n) = $12n

Total cost of production = ($6 * n) = $6n

Advert cost = $50

Hence,

12n - (6n + 50)

12n - 6n - 50

(12 - 6)n - 50
