i am not completely sure but i think it should be y = 300*90 -x*.25

anonymous · Answer

where x is the table count greater that 300

anonymous · Answer

since it is a linear equation the max money transfer is when x = 0, so 300*90

anonymous · Answer

and for the min is when y = 0; anyone else have an input on this?

anonymous · Answer

Surely the linear equation should be $$y = 90(300+x) - \frac{1}{4}x = 27000 + 89.75x$$ since they still have to pay for each table over 300, but get an additional discount also.
