Question 26727: Could you help me with this problem?
Typical business watch patterns of change in their costs, income, and profit from operations. For example, the Palace Theater shows only second- run movies and charges a single low price of $2.50. The operating expenses for the Palace Theater are about $450 per day. If there are no other expenses or other sources of income, how could you determine the theater's daily profit?
I understand it mostly but don't really know how to solve for profit... if you could just email me the equation that would be most helpful.
Thanks,
Valerie

Let n = number of people that buy tickets in a day
($2.50)(n) / day = income in a day
$450 / day = expenses per day
Profit/day = [($2.50)(n) - $450] /day
