Question

The profit on a jacket can be found by the formula p=24x-125,where x is the number of jackets sold. What is the profit if 15 jackets are sold?

Answer 1

Put 15 where x is and do the arithmetic.
24*15 -125 = 235

If 15 jackets are sold, the profit is 235.

Answer 2

Given:

The profit on a jacket can be found by the formula p=24x-125,where x is the number of jackets sold.

Solution:

To find the profit if 15 jackets are sold, we need to substitute x = 15 in the profit formula and evaluate the profit as below:

`Profit(P)=24x-125\\\\When \; x = 15\\\\Profit =24(15)-125=360-125=235`

Conclusion:

The profit if 15 jackets are sold is $235.
