Profit equals revenue minus cost. P=R-C. Rewrite the formula to solve for C.
p=r-c
p+c=r
r-p=c
In your industrial oven, you bake two cooking sheets with 12 scones each, two baking sheets with 20 cookies each, and one baking sheet with 2 scones and 10 cookies. Write an expression that illistrates the total cost of all baked goods in the scenario using the variable s to represent the cost of the scones and the variable c to represent the cost of the cookies. Simplify the expression by combining like terms
r-c=p solve for c
lol 2008
r-c=p
To solve for C (cost), we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. In this case, we want to isolate C on the right side of the equation, so we need to move R (revenue) to the left side.
The original equation is: P = R - C
To isolate C, we can start by adding C to both sides of the equation: P + C = R - C + C
This simplifies to: P + C = R
Next, we need to move P (profit) to the right side of the equation by subtracting P from both sides: P + C - P = R - P
This simplifies to: C = R - P
Therefore, the formula for calculating the cost (C) is C = R - P.
