Question

1. Darrell determines that it costs $1,200 to run the movie theater for a given

day. The cost of a movie ticket is $9.
A. Write a function Darrell can use to determine the profit for the movie
theater for one day.

Answer 1

f(x) = 9x - 1,200

Explanation:

Let x represent the number of movie tickets sold.

9x will represent the profit made from selling movie tickets that day, since each ticket is 9 dollars.

To determine the profit, subtract 1,200 from 9x.

9x - 1,200 will represent the profit. Turn this into a function:

f(x) = 9x - 1,200 where x is the number of movie tickets sold and f(x) is the profit
