(A) 75p + 35d - 150
(B) 35p + 75d - 150
(C) 75p - 35d - 150
(D) 35 + p + 75 + d + 150 ​

Answer 1

Answer: Choice A) 75p + 35d - 150

===================================================

Work Shown:

p = number of paintings sold

75p = amount made from paintings alone ($75 per painting)

d = number of drawings sold

35d = amount made from drawings only ($35 per drawing)

R = revenue = amount of money coming in

R = 75p+35d

C = cost = amount of money going out

C = 150

P = profit

P = R - C

P = ( R ) - ( C )

P = ( 75p+35d ) - ( 150 )

P = 75p + 35d - 150

Answer 2

The answer is both (A) and (B)
