For this math problem I am selling 30 pies for $25 each at the farmers market. I spent $500. $200 on the booth and $300 on all of the pies, each pie costing $10 to make. I earned $750 total, making a $250 profit.
c. In Task 1 you determined how much you will charge for each item. Write an
equation that represents your total earnings based on the price of your item
and how many you sell.
The hell does that mean? ^^^
as always, your earnings is
(# items sold) * (price for each item)
how hard is that?
Ohhh so T(Total) = $25p or 30 x $25?
what if you sell two items 1 for $18 and 2 for $22
To write an equation that represents your total earnings based on the price of your item and how many you sell, you can use the formula:
Total earnings = Price per item × Number of items sold
In your case, you are selling 30 pies for $25 each, so the price per item (P) would be $25, and the number of pies sold (N) would be 30. Using these values, your equation would be:
Total earnings = $25 × 30
Simplifying the equation, you have:
Total earnings = $750
Therefore, your total earnings would be $750.
