Question

Jason is a writer who gets paid a certain number of dollars per page, but 25 percent of the money he makes goes to taxes. suppose d(p) represents the number of dollars jason gets paid as a function of the number of pages he writes, and suppose t(p) represents the number of Jason's dollars that go to taxes. If t(p)=500, what is the value of (d-t)(p)?

Answer 1

We are given that
d(p) represents the number of dollars jason gets paid
t(p) represents the number of Jason's dollars that go to taxes
t(p)=500
Then
d(p) = 500 / 0.25
d(p) = 2000

The value of
(d-t)(p) = 2000 - 500 = 1500
