Question 626801: A street corner vendor buys roses for $5.76 per dozen and sells them at $1.3 each. His costs of operation are $58 per day. If x represents the number of roses he sells in a day, express his profit for the day in terms of x. I just can't get my head around on how to approach the problem... Answer by richwmiller(17219) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! y=(1.30-(5.76/12))x-58
His costs are two.
5.76 per dozen or 5.76/12 per rose
and $58 per day
his profit per rose is 1.30-(5.76/12)
but you have to subtract his daily expenses of 58 dollars
