Question

The cost C(in dollars) for the care and maintenance of a horse and carriage is C=15x+2000. the company charges $35 per ride. Write an equation for the revenue R in terms of the number of rides

Answer 1

so let R equal to the revenue of the company
x be the number of rides
since the cost per ride is $ 35
so the equation for revenue is
R = 35x
the profit can also be solve
profit = revenue - cost

profit = R - C
profit = 35x - 15x - 2000
profit = 20x - 2000
