Lukas is running a lemonade stand on a hot summer day. He spent $14 for the materials and earns $1.50 for each cup of lemonade sold. What is an equation that relates the number of cups of lemonade sold, c and the profit earned, P, and explain whether Lukas selling 19.5 cups is a viable solution.

Respuesta :

The equation would be 1.50x - 14 = P

If lucas sells 19. cups then that means he will earn a total of 29.25$ but since he spent 14$ for the materials itself that concludes to the total being 15.25.This would be a viable solution because he is earning more money then  he is loosing.
