Question

Ryan also earns money by selling colored watch bands with the watches he sells. The linear expression 100x – 50 models Ryan's additional income. What is the expression that models the new average profit, including the bands? Note: To obtain the new average profit expression, add the linear expression to the original rational expression. Write the new profit expression as one fraction.

Answer 1

Average (additional) income = 100 - 50/x

Explanation:

Ryan's additional income = 100x - 50 , where x = quantity of colored watch bands

Ryan's additional average income = Income / Quantity of watches sold

(100x - 50) / x

= 100 - 50/x
