Students would work for free in this case. Assign variables for number of cars washed and for profit.

The profit will be revenue minus cost.

Choices can vary but must be consistant within each persons own problem solving for the description.
system%28p=profit%2Cx=howManyCars%29

highlight%28p=10%2Ax-20%29
