Question

A charity organization had a fundraiser where each ticket was sold for a fixed price. After selling 200 tickets, they had a net profit of $12,000. They had to sell a few tickets just to cover necessary production costs of $1,200. Let y represent the net profit (in dollars) when they have sold x tickets

Answer 1

Answer: y = 66x - 1,200

Step-by-step explanation: B represents the sales earned from selling tickets.

Net profit = total sales - total costs 12,000 = 200b - 1,200 12,000 + 1,200 = 200b 13,200 / 200 = 200b / 200 b = $66 Net profit = total sales - total costs y = 66x - 1,200
