Here's how to solve the problems:
**1. Cost Equation**
* Fixed costs: $165
* Variable cost per item: $3
* Cost equation: y = 3x + 165
**2. Revenue Equation**
* Selling price per item: $10
* Revenue equation: y = 10x
**3. Total Costs for 28 Items**
* Total costs = 165 + (3 * 28) = 165 + 84 = $249
**4. Revenue from Selling 28 Items**
* Revenue = 10 * 28 = $280
**5. Profit**
* Profit = Revenue - Total Costs = 280 - 249 = $31
**Answers:**
* Cost equation: 3x + 165
* Revenue equation: 10x
* Cost = $249
* Revenue = $280
* Profit = $31
