Question

0 At another location, Mall 2, the rental space is $225 weekly but he must sell his tacos for $7.50 each. If W2 is his weekly salary in Mall 2, write a formula for W2 if y tacos were sold. [1] iv) Determine the number of tacos that must be sold such that the weekly salary earned at either Mall 1 or Mall 2 is the same. [3]

Answer 1

iii)

Since each taco is sold for $7.50, then the total amount of money earned by selling y tacos, is 7.50y. Nevertheless, $225 must be subtracted to find the salary, because the rental space is $225 weekly. Then, the salary for selling y tacos at Mall 2 is:

`W_2=7.50y-225`
