Question

The total income for the Mr. Johnson’s apartment building can be represented by the equation 5r-2c-3p, where r is the amount of rent paid by each tenant, c is the cost of the cable bill, and p is the cost of the phone bill. if the rent is $500, The cable bill is $80 in the phone bill is $40, what is the total income for Mr. Johnson?

Answer 1

The total income is represented by: 5r - 2c - 3p

The rent is $500 (r = 500)

The cable bill is $80 (c = 80)

The phone bill is $40 (p = 40)

Replacing these data into the equation, we get:

Income = 5(500) - 2(80) - 3(40)

Income = 2500 - 160 - 120

Income = $2220
