a. Write and simplify an equation using distributive property to find the profit.

b. A large box of fruit costs $9 and a small box of fruit costs $4. What is the Jazz's band profit?

Profit = Price - Cost
Large Fruit Box:

Cost $x

Small Fruit Box
Price $10
Cost $y

Answer 1

(a) P(x,y) = 31(20-x)+74(10-y)
(b) P(9,4) = 31(20-9)+74(10-4)
