Question

Hana makes and sells knit scarves. She will charge $12 for each scarf she sells at the craft fair next week. She will pay a $25 fee for the use of a booth at the fair. Write an expression to determine Hana's profit for selling "s" scarves after paying the fee for the use of the booth.

Answer 1

$12s - $25

Explanation:

Given that:

Amount charged per scarve = $12

Cost of booth used = $25

Profit made for selling 's' scarve after paying for booth

Profit = Revenue - Expenditure

Revenue = cost per scarve * number of scarves sold

Revenue = $12 * s

Revenue = 12s

Expenditure = cost of booth

Expenditure = $25

Hence,

Profit made = $12s - $25
