Question

Hi! This is due soon and I really need help. (-:

Write an expression to represent the income of the fundraiser in the following paragraph

Write an expression to represent the profit of the fundraiser.

The varsity basketball team is selling t-shirts as a fundraiser. It costs them $100 to have the shirts professionally designed, and they have to pay $5 for each shirt. They plan on selling the shirts for $10 each.

I already got that the expression that represents the expenses of the fundraiser would be -5x+100. But I was kinda confused about the other ones :-/ Any help would be appreciated (-:

Answer 1

10x>5x+100

Explanation:

it says expression not equations so its < , >,

The profit would be on one side and the expenses on the other

No negatives

so it would be 5 times X (the amount of shirts) plus the base fee of $100

and they plan on selling it for 10$ each so (10x) is the profit

X = number of shirts
