Please help me! I'd greatly appreciate your help! :) A clothing store sells t-shirts and jeans. The store charges customers $15 per t-shirt and $35 per pair of jeans. The store pays $4.50 per t-shirt and $5.00 per pair of jeans, plus a flat fee of $150 per order. Write an expression that represents the store's profit for an order if they sell t t-shirts and j pairs of jeans. Please show work.

@AloneS Do you know this one? :)

alones (alones):

Oh my gosh they're asking to show work also? :O

OpenStudy (markchernioglo):

Lol wait nvm I think I got it. So the revenue would be like 15t+35j Cost: 4.5t+5j+150 Profit= Revenue-Cost so I do the math...

OpenStudy (markchernioglo):

So then I do: (15t+35j)-(4.5t+5j+150) 15t+35-4.5-5j-150 10.5t+30j-150

OpenStudy (markchernioglo):

Idk is that right?

alones (alones):

Hrmm you seems to be on the right track..lol but um I'm not quit sure.. how about @brainzonly check this also.

OpenStudy (markchernioglo):

k thx :)

alones (alones):

Okay revenue: \(\ 15t + 35j\) Cost: \(\ 4.5t+5j+150\) So we know that Profit equals revenue -cost

OpenStudy (markchernioglo):

Yup yup

alones (alones):

Let's solve this\[\ (15t+35j)- (4.5t+5j+ 150)\] \[\ 15t+35j-4.5t-5j- 150\] \[\ 10.5t+30j -150\] I'm not sure why there's big spaces LOL Anyways @Awolflover1 check my work Lol.

OpenStudy (markchernioglo):

lol yea

Awolflover1 (awolflover1):

yes correct alone <3

OpenStudy (markchernioglo):

The spaces are probably from your computer glitching lol. XD

alones (alones):

Oh \[\ finally\] Thanks @Awolflover1 LOL probably I'm using those awkward space bars "[..]

OpenStudy (markchernioglo):
