The question presented here is an application of linear models. The $1 amount is fixed and does not depend on any factor such as the cups of orange juice sold.
Furthermore, we are informed that we earn $0.25 for every cup of orange juice sold. This means that we shall earn 0.25 j by selling j cups of orange juice.
The variable total amount, A will thus depend on the fixed amount of $1 and the variable income 0.25 j.
The equation in two variables that will represent the total amount A (in dollars) you have after selling j cups of orange juice will thus be;
