Question 160783: A High school class wants to raise money by recycling news papers. The class decides to rent a truck at the cost of $150 for the week. The market price for recycled news papers is $15 per ton. Write an equation represent the amount of money the class will make based on the number of tons of news papers collected. Explain. Answer by KnightOwlTutor(293) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The net amount that the class will make is $150-$15X
X=number of tons recycled
They have to cover the initial cost of the truck of $150. Anything over $150 is a profit.
