Question

Billie Sue's BBQ had their grand opening this year. The first month they did not turn a profit. However, each month thereafter, they have had steady profits of $1,500 per month. If x represents the number of months they have profited, which of the following equations represents the amount of profits after x months? A. y = 1,500x B. y = 1,500 - x C. y = 1,500x + x D. y = x + 1,500

Answer 1

1,500

Explanation:

1,500 kli l

Answer 2

A

Explanation:

Since each year the profit is 1500, its a linear equation with slope 1500.

For 1 month of profit, the profit is 1500*1=1500

For 2 month of profit, the profit is 1500*2=3000

It goes on like this, so the pattern in "multiplying 1500 by x (where x represents the number of months they have profited)"

The first equation, option A, is correct,

y = 1500x
