Answer 1

A company produces accessories for smart phones and tablets. The profit on each smart phone case is $2 and the profit on each tablet case is $3. The company made a profit of $1,200 on the cases last month. The equation 2x + 3y = 1,200 represents the company's profit from cases last month, where x is the number of smart phone cases sold and y is the number of tablet cases sold.

Answer 2

5. Suppose in the next month, the total profit on smart phone cases and tablet cases is $1,500. The profit amounts are the same, $2 for smart phone case and $3 for the tablet case.

Answer 4

Do you know how to explain this mathematically? Which part do you need, the writing or the math or both?

the writing...

Answer 6

this is what i had b4..
They are similar because they have the same prices and they are being sold of the same devices. A few ways they are different is the profit made from it.

Answer 7

Fair enough.
The x and y are the same because the proportions of profit, if you will, don't change, the change is in how the item is sold.
try to put this out mathematically and I'll help you with the writing part.

Answer 8

change in how much f an item is sold- that's what I meant.
