Thursday, December 7 Amanda sells homemade birthday cakes for a profit of $40 per cake. She is considering switching to a new type of icing that will increase her profit, as expressed in the function y = 45x.

How many more dollars will Amanda earn on each cake if she switches to the new material?

To find out how many more dollars Amanda will earn on each cake if she switches to the new material, we need to find the difference between her profit with the new icing and her profit without it.

Her profit without the new icing is $40 per cake.
Her profit with the new icing is $45 per cake.

The difference in profit is $45 - $40 = $<<45-40=5>>5.

Therefore, Amanda will earn $5 more on each cake if she switches to the new material.
