A high school class wants to raise money by recycling newspapers. The class decided to rent a trcuk at a cost of $150 for the week. The market price for recycled newspapers is $15 per ton. Write an equation representing the amount of money the class will make based on the number of tons of newspapers collected. Please explain how to do this problem!
-------------------------------------
Income(x) = 15x - 150 where x is the number of tons of newspapers collected.
The equation says "the income for x tons will be $15 times the number of
tons minus $150 for the cost of the truck".
