Question #d7d94

Answer 1

`p=2000 - 13*h`

Explanation:

Your profit will equal however much you made minus however much you spent.

In the question, Jim makes `$3000` from the Christmas trees.

However, it costs him `$1000` to transport the trees, and `$13` for every hour, `h`, that his employees work.

So his costs are `1000 + 13*h`, the `$1000` set price for transporting the trees, and the amount he has to pay his employees, `$13` for every hour.

So he made `3000` but he spent `1000 + 13*h` dollars, so the equation for his profit will be:

`p=3000 - (13*h + 1000)`
`p= 2000 - 13*h`
