Question

Amelia builds and sells birdhouses. The difference between the amount she sells each birdhouse for and the cost of supplies to build each birdhouse is $20. Amelia also spends $45 on tools to build birdhouses. Which equation can Amelia use to calculate the amount of money (m), in dollars, she earns from selling b birdhouses?

Answer 1

Answer:

$m= 20b-45$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

The difference between the amount she sells each birdhouse for and the cost of supplies to build each birdhouse is $20

This means that her profit = $20

the number of birdhouses = b

cost of tools= $45

Hence the amount she earns from selling b houses is given as

$m= 20b-45$
