Question

The function P(x) = 0.75x - 96 models the relationship between the number of pretzels x that a certain vendor sells and the profit the vendor

makes. Find P(500), the profit the vendor makes from selling 500 pretzels.

Answer 1

279

Explanation:

First, you plug in 500 for " x " because it says P( 500 ).

P( 500 ) = 0.75 (500) -96

Then, you multiply / simplify

P ( 500 ) = (375) - 96

P ( 500 ) = 279

Finally, it gives you your answer for selling 500 pretzels

279
