Question

McKenzie makes and sells quilts at an art fair. The materials for each quilt cos t$30.50. She sells the quilts for $80. If "n" represents the number of quilts she sells, which expression could be used to represent her total profits?

Answer 1

Total profits = 49.50n

Explanation:

Cost of each quilt = $30.50

Selling price of each quilt = $80

Profits = selling price - cost price

= $80 - $30.50

= $49.50

Profits = $49.50

If n = number of quilts she sells

which expression could be used to represent her total profits?

Total profits = profits of each quilt × number of quilt sold

= $49.50 × n

= 49.50n

Total profits = 49.50n
