Question

The profit earned by a hot dog stand is a linear function of the number of hot dogs sold. It costs the owner $48 dollars each morning for the day’s supply of hot dogs, buns and mustard, but he earns $2 profit for each hot dog sold. Which equation represents y, the profit earned by the hot dog stand for x hot dogs sold? y=48x−2 y=48x+2 y=2x−48 y=2x+48

Answer 1

Answer: C. y=2x-48

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

option c

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a profit earned by a hot dog stand is a linear function of the number of hot dog sold.

The cost  per morning for the day's supply of hot dogs, buns and mustard=$48

He earns profit on each hot dog sold=$2

We have to find the equation of y which represent the profit earned by the hot dog stand for x hot dog sold

Number of hot dogs sold=x

Then total profit on x hot dog=$2 x

Therefore, the profit earned by the hot dog stand for x hot dogs sold =y= 2x-48

Hence, option c is true.
