Question

You have $6 and earn $0.50 for each cup of orange juice you sell. Write an equation in two variables that represents the total amount A (in dollars) you have after selling j cups of orange juice. A = ?

Is it A = .50j + 6 and if it is explain please. Thanks

Answer 1

A = 0.50j + 6.......u r correct

he started with 6....and he is selling each cup (j) for 0.50

so lets say he sold 10 cups...u would sub in 10 for j
A = 0.50(10) + 6
A = 5 + 6
A = 11......and he would have $ 11
