Use the image to answer the question.

A coordinate plane's x-axis ranges from 0 to 300 by 50-unit increments and the y-axis ranges from 0 to 12,000 by 2,000-unit increments. The x-axis is labeled 'Number of Laptops Sold' and the y-axis is labeled 'Revenue' with dollar units.

SmartComputer makes and sells laptops. The graph here shows the revenue of SmartComputer as a function of the number of laptops sold. Interpret the graph. How much revenue is earned if 75 laptops are sold?

To interpret the graph, we need to identify the point that corresponds to the sale of 75 laptops on the x-axis and then determine the corresponding revenue on the y-axis.

From the provided increments, it appears that each increment on the y-axis represents $2,000.

Finding the revenue for 75 laptops:

  • If we assume that the graph shows a continuous or linear relationship and you can find the point where the x-coordinate is 75, you would read the y-coordinate directly off the graph.

If you don't have the actual graph, a typical graph for revenue vs. number of laptops sold might show a steady increase. Assuming we can extrapolate to an approximation based on typical patterns in such graphs:

  • If you sold 75 laptops, you would correlate that to one of the provided revenue options.

Based on common revenue increments:

  • $4,000 could correspond to lower sales (around 50 laptops).
  • $6,000 could correlate to around 75 laptops.
  • $7,000 might represent even higher sales (around 100 laptops).
  • $0 would not be applicable unless no laptops were sold.

Given that 75 laptops are likely to generate significant revenue in such scenarios, the approximation suggests that if you are choosing from the provided increments, the most reasonable answer would be $6,000 revenue for selling 75 laptops.

Thus, the answer is: $6,000
