Ryan has his own business selling watches, and he wants to monitor his profit per watch sold. The expression [tex]\frac{200x-300}{x}[/tex] models the average profit per watch sold, where x is the number of watches sold.



Ryan also earns money by selling colored watch bands with the watches he sells. The linear expression 100x – 50 models Ryan’s additional income. What is the expression that models the new average profit, including the bands? Note: To obtain the new average profit expression, add the linear expression to the original rational expression. Write the new profit expression as one fraction.

Answer:

(-x² + 99x +200)/x

Step-by-step explanation:

Profit per watch = (200 - x)/x

Profit per band = 100 – x

New profit = (200 - x)/x + 100 – x

New profit = (200 - x)/x + x(100 – x)/x

New profit = (200 - x + 100x – x²)/x

New profit = (-x² + 99x +200)/x

Answer:

[tex]\frac{100x^2 +150x -300}{x}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Ryan gets  profit of selling x number watches = [tex]\frac{200x - 300}{x}[/tex]

Also

Ryan earns money by selling colored watch bands = 100x - 50

To find the new average profit, we have to add the rational expression and linear expression.

=  [tex]\frac{200x - 300}{x}[/tex] + 100x - 50

[tex]\frac{200x - 300}{x} + 100x - 50[/tex]

Here x is least common divisor. Taking x is a LCD, we get

[tex]\frac{200x - 300 + x(100x - 50)}{x} \\=\frac{200x-300 + 100x^2 - 50x}{x} \\= \frac{100x^2 +150x -300}{x}[/tex]

The new profit expression [tex]\frac{100x^2 +150x -300}{x}[/tex]
