Question

Each calendar will sell for 5 each. Write an equation to model the total income, y, for selling x calendars

Answer 1

y = 5x

Explanation:

If each calendar, x, sells for $5 each, you would multiply 5·x because $5 is how much you earn per calender. Therefore, your total income would be 5 times the number of calendars you sell, or in equation "language", y = 5x
