Question

You sell apple cider for a fundraiser. For each gallon of cider you sell, the company that makes the cider receives $x$ dollars, and you receive the remaining amount. You sell $15$ gallons of cider for $\left(15x+45\right)$ dollars. How much money do you receive for each gallon of cider that you sell?

Answer 1

Answer: You receive 14x+45 dollars for each gallon of cider that you sell.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: For selling each gallon of cider, the company receives x dollars.

You receive = Remaining amount

i.e. You receive  $(Selling price - x)

By selling 15 gallons in 15x+45 dollars, you have received (15x+45)-x dollars

i.e. You received 15x+45-x dollars

i.e. You received 14x+45 dollars.

Hence,  you receive 14x+45 dollars for each gallon of cider that you sell.
