The amount of money they will make depends on how many tons of paper they collect at $15.00 per ton. The income will be $15 x tons of paper
\n" ); document.write( "They have to pay the $150 for the truck so this is a cost.
\n" ); document.write( "So the amount of money
\n" ); document.write( "= Income - Costs
\n" ); document.write( "= 15 x Tons of paper - $150
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
