With no advertising your newspaper has a circulation of 6000 papers. For each dollar you spend on advertising, your newspaper circulation increases by 5 papers. You earn a profit (taking into account advertising expense) of 9 cents for each paper sold, but you must pay $500 to have the papers delivered. Find a formula that gives the total profit P, in dollars, that you earn if you spend a dollars on advertising.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, the profit formula:

PROFIT= TOTAL REVENUE - TOTAL COST

Next, note the points:

- Without Advertisement, Q = 6,000 where Q is quantity supplied

- A formula that gives the total profit P in dollars must take into account that 100cents = 1dollar

- Here, only a dollar is spent on advertisement, hence, Q = 6005

- Advertising expenses have been accounted for and [P = 9cents × Q] where Q is quantity sold.

- 9 cents = 0.09 dollars

TOTAL PROFIT FORMULA = 0.09Q - 500

i would say c is the best answer, hope it's right!

good luck! =)

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

7x+8(x+

1

4

)=3(6x−9)−8

7x+(8)(x)+(8)(

1

4

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.

−3x
