Question

The daily profit, P, of a local bakery can be calculated using the formula P=m-(250+4h) when employees work a total of h hours and the bakery receives m dollars. Write an equation to the calculate the amount of money, m, the bakery should receive if the desired profit is $415.

Answer 1

`m=665+4h`

Explanation:

Profits of the local bakery is given by

`P=m-(250+4h)`

where

m = Amount of money to be received

P = Profit

h = Number of hours worked

Now P = $415

So,

`P+(250+4h)=m\\\Rightarrow m=P+250+4h\\\Rightarrow m=415+250+4h\\\Rightarrow m=665+4h`

The equation to calculate the amount of money, m, the bakery should receive if the desired profit is $415 is
`m=665+4h`.
