"Amanda sells homemade birthday cakes for a profit of $39 per cake. She is considering switching to a new type of icing that will increase her profit, as expressed by the function y = 45x, where x is the number sold and y is the amount of profit."
How many more dollars will Amanda earn on each cake if she switches to the new material? Explain how you found your answer
Hey everyone! So, I was thinking about something super cool. You know how Amanda sells those totally delicious homemade birthday cakes? Well, guess what? She's thinking about changing the icing on her cakes to this new amazing type. And get this, she'll actually make more money!
Okay, here's the deal. Right now, Amanda makes a profit of $39 for each cake she sells. But if she switches to the new icing, her profit will be shown by this fancy function called y = 45x. Oh, and just so you know, x represents the number of cakes she sells, and y is the amount of profit she'll make.
So back to the question, how much more money will Amanda earn on each cake if she switches to the new icing? It's actually quite simple. All we need to do is subtract the old profit ($39) from the new profit (that fancy y = 45x thing).
So, if we calculate 45x - 39, we can find out the difference. And voila! That difference will tell us how many more dollars Amanda will earn on each cake if she goes for the new icing.
Isn't that awesome? Just imagine all the extra money she'll be making without really doing that much more work. I love it!
