Question

20 points


Eric sells shirts. It costs him $100 to buy all the shirts and $10, total, to print designs on them. Eric sells each shirt for $4. So far he has sold 20 shirts. He uses the equation y = 4x - 110 to calculate his profit.

What is the constant in Eric’s equation?












A)
4



B)
-10



C)
20



D)
-110

Answer 1

We have to determine the constant in the equation, which shows how Eric can calculate his profit ( y ). He sells each shirt for $4 and he has total expenses: $100 + $10 = $110. So the equation for profit is: y = 4 x - 100. In this equation y is dependent variable, x is independent variable, 4 is coefficient and - 100 is the constant. A constant is a number ( a quantity that does not vary ). Answer: D ) - 110.

Answer 2

Answer:

110 because a constant is something that will stay the same no matter what u do toward the other numbers.
