Question

You sold 10 pies at a bake sale for $6.50 each, but you spent $18.00 on bake sale supplies. Which equation shows how to calculate your profit, p?

Answer 1

Explanation:

10x$6.50 then you subtract that from $18.00 now help me on my question

Answer 2

Profit means the amount YOU get (revenue) minus the cost you paid (expenses). Your expenses were $18. Your revenue was the total you earned from those 10 pies.

They were $6.5 each, which means that if you multiplied by 10, you would get the total.

p=6.5 x 10 - 18
