Question

A company sells floats for children. An equation that models their profit is P=4x-10,000 , where x is the number of floats sold.

If​ 5,000 floats are​ sold, what is the​ company's profit?

Answer 1

10,000 because you substitute x with 5,000 and 4 times 5,000 equals 20,000 minus 10,000 is 10,000

Answer 2

P = $10,000

Explanation:

The equation modeling a company's profit is P = 4x - 10000.

Substitute x for 5,000.

P = 4(5,000) - 10,000

P = 20,000 - 10,000

P = 10,000

The company's profit will be $10,000 if 5,000 floats are sold.
