Question

6. Jennifer spent $150 at a craft fair to rent a booth. She sells knit blankets for $25 each. Write a linear equation in slope-intercept form representing the cost/profit of Jennifer’s crafts and then graph the equation. Equation: _______________

Answer 1

Let x represent the amount of blankets that Jennifer sells.

Since each blanket is sold at $25, then, Jennifer will receive 25x dollars for selling x blankets.

Since the cost of the rent of the booth was $150, the total cost-profit balance for selling x blankets and paying the rent of the booth will be 25x-150.

Let y represent the cost/profit of Jennifer's crafts. Then, the linear equation that represents the situation, is:

$y=25x-150$
