Total profit = Total earnings - Total investment
Total earnings = T = 50x
Total investment = $10,000
Profit = 50x - $10,000
Given that x ≤ 714, let's assume x = 714.
Profit = 50(714) - $10,000
Profit = $35,700 - $10,000
Profit = $25,700
Therefore, the total profit is $25,700.
You want to start a bakery business to earn money. The total amount of money you will invest is $10,000. You will be selling cakes. It will cost you $14 to make each cake.
x≤714
You plan to sell each cake for $50. Write an equation that represents your total earnings, T, based on the price of your cake and how many you sell. Let x represent the number of cakes you sell.
T≤50x
Using your answer from part b and your equation from part c, what is the most money you can hope to earn from your business?
