Question

If computers sell for $1020 per unit and hard drives sell for $118 per unit, the revenue from x computers and y hard drives can be represented by

Answer 1

Explanation:

a computer sell for $1020

x computer will sell for $1020x

a hard drive sell for $118

y hard drive will sell for $118y

The revenue equals $1020x + $118y

Answer 2

Revenue = 1020x + 118y

Explanation:

Revenue = 1020x + 118y

This is an important question to understand. You will use it very shortly when you try and solve 2 equations with 2 unknown. Just to show you what that means, Suppose the revenue is

Revenue = 5808

and 11 items total were sold

x + y = 11 Total number of items sold

1020x + 118y= 5808 Revenue

is the kind of problem you will be solving.
