anonymous · Answer

The answer is in the question, if it says he made an extra $1500 per car, and that formula was S = 1500x + 25000, and then he got a raise to $1700 per car, the only thing that you would have to do to make this correct would be to change the 1500 to a 1700.

So the answer is simply S = 1700x + 25000
