The neighborhood ice cream truck driver has to pay $650.00 a week to rent his truck. Each ice cream cone costs $0.75 to make and sells for $1.60. Set up an equation to figure out how many ice cream cones must be sold to make a profit of $100.00 for the week.

Respuesta :

it would be 1.60x-.75x-650=100 i believe bc you would need to subtract the cost of everything that’s due and find what x is to make it equal 100$ profit

Answer: $0.85x – $650 = $100

Step by step explanation:

Ice cream truck rent $650.00 a week  

Each ice cream cone costs $0.75  

Sells Ice cream cone for $1.60

How many ice cream cones must be sold to make a profit of $100.00 for the week = x

Capital amount per week = $650 + $0.75 (per cone)

Profit per cone: $1.60 – $0.75 = $0.85

In order to make $100 profit, the expression would be:

$0.85x – $650 = $100
