Then use the equation to find the weekly profit when 92 cans of soda are sold in a week. A) P 0.65x-25; $34.80 C) P 0.75x-25; $44.00 B) P-0.75x+25; $94.00 D) P 0.65x+25; $84.80

Answer 1

Answer : A)

Selling price = $0.75

Cost price = $0.10

Weekly cost of maintain soda machine = $25

Number of cans sold each week = x

Profit = P = price earned from selling - cost price - fixed weekly cost

P = 0.75x - 0.10x - 25 = 0.65x-25

For 92 cans,

P = 0.65*92-25 = $34.80
