Question

The cost to bake x loaves of French bread is C=19+1.17x. How much profit does the bakery make in a year by selling French bread? (Hint: Profit = Revenue - $91980)

Answer 1

Profit = revenue-$91980. do you know what 91980 is?

Answer 2

91980 is the revenue per year from selling the bread

Answer 3

if 91980 is the revenue per year from selling bread, then your profit=0. that doesn't make sense.

Answer 4

the bread cost $1.20 and they sell 65700 of bread per year

Answer 5

Answer 7

c. The cost to bake x loaves of French bread is C=19+1.17x. How much profit does the bakery make in a year by selling French bread? (Hint: Profit = Revenue - Cost, use the revenue you got in part b.)

Answer 8

yes, you got a, b correct. but you subbed it in incorrectly right in your original problem. Hint: Profit = Revenue - $91980)

Answer 9

so how would i do part c?

Answer 10
