Question

The math club sold 15 novelty erasers and made a profit of

$7. After another week, the club had sold a total of 25
erasers and made a profit of $15. Which equation models
the total profit, y, based on the number of erasers sold, X?
A. y - 15 = 0.8(x - 7)
B. y - 15 = 1.25(x - 7)
C. y - 7 = 0.8(x - 15)
D. y - 7 = 1.25(x - 15)

Answer 1

C

15 novelty eraser and a profit of $7
It means that x=15 and y=7
=> C and D is correct
Sold 25 erasers and a profit of $15
It means that x=25 and y=15
=> only C is right.
