Question

Mario earns money mowing his neighbors' lawns.

The revenue for mowing x lawns is (X) = 25x.
Mario's cost for gas and the mower rental is (x) = 6x + 15.
His profit from mowing x lawns is p(x) = (r- c)(X). What is p(x)?
A. p(x) = 31x+15
B. p(x) = 19x - 15
C. p(x) = 19x+ 15
O D. p(x) = 31x- 15
SUBMIT

Answer 1

His profit from mowing x lawns is 19x-15

Explanation:

Revenue for mowing x lawns = 25x

Cost for gas and the mower rental = 6x+15

We are supposed to find His profit from mowing x lawns

p(x) denotes His profit from mowing x lawns

Profit = Revenue - Cost

So,p(x)=25x-(6x+15)

p(x)=25x-6x-15

p(x)=19x-15

So, Option B is true

Hence His profit from mowing x lawns is 19x-15
