As a fundraiser for a band trip, the Edison Middle School Band plans to sell hats that feature the school logo. The company producing the hats will charge the band $240 for the design and set-up

costs, plus $8 per hat. The band members have decided to sell the hats for $12 each.

a. Write an equation that represents the production cost in dollars to make the hats. Describe

what your variables represent.

b. Write an equation that represents the amount of money the band will make from selling the

hats. Describe at your variables represent

a. c=240+8x

b. e=12x

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The equation would indicate that the production cost in dollars is equal to the design and set-up cost plus the cost per hat for the number of hats produced:

c=240+8x, where c is the production cost in dollars and x is the number of hats produced.

b. The equation would indicate that the amount of money the band will make from selling the  hats is equal to the price per hat for the number of hats sold:

e=12x, where e is the amount of money the band will make from selling the  hats and x is the number of hats sold.

your answer would be 10x - 1

were is the equation
