Tony started a blanket business. He purchased a sewing machine and some fabric to get started, and then sold each blanket for the same price. The expression −450+12x
represents the profit that Tony has earned based on the number of blankets sold.
Which expression represents the total amount Tony earns from selling blankets?
The total amount Tony earns from selling blankets can be represented by the product of the number of blankets sold and the price of each blanket.
