Let r(x) be the number of dollars revenue they take in by selling x thousand burgers. Write the particular equation for function r.
r(x) = 0.75x where "x" is the number of hamburgers sold.

Let c(x) be the total cost of woning the hamburger stand, including the $20,000 franchise fee. Write the particular eaquation for function c.
c(x) = 20000+ 250(x/1000) where x is the number of hamburgers sold.
