A landscaper makes a $2,000 profit in a week when he services 25 lawns. He makes a $600 profit in a week when he services 11 lawns. If his profit for the week is a linear function of the number of lawns serviced, how much profit would he receive in a week that he services 36 lawns?

Calculate the y=mx+b formula to get y=100x+b, then plug in 25 (as x) an 2000 (as y) or 11 (as x) and 600 (as y) to get y=100x-500. Then plug in 36 for x to get y=$3100.
