Jonny sees Freddy selling his lemonade and decides he wants to sell muffins he promises to pay his mother $10 to make muffins for him and sell them after selling 45 muffins he made a profit of $5.75 make an equation for his profit
take 5.75 and add the 10 dollars to get the total money before having to pay mom
[tex]5.75 + 10 = 15.75[/tex] divide your answer by 45
[tex]15.75 \div 45 = 0.35[/tex] now you know how much each muffin costs and how much he has to pay to mom so your equation would be [tex]profit = 0.35m - 10[/tex]
