Stephanie grew a total of 70 pounds of tomatoes to sell. She plans to sell the tomatoes for $3.50 per pound. The equation below represents the profit in dollars, f(x), she will earn by selling x pounds of the tomatoes. f(x) = 3.50x - 110

If Stephanie sold all 70 pounds of tomatoes, what would her profit be?

If Stephanie sold the 70 pounds of tomatoes, her profit would be 135 dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that the equation f(x) = 3.50*x - 110 represents the profit in dollars Stephanie will earn by selling x pounds of the tomatoes.

If Stephanie sold the 70 pounds of tomatoes, you want to know what the profit would be. So to calculate the profit you simply replace in f (x), the x pounds of tomatoes by 70.

f(70)=3.50*70 - 110

Solving:

f(70)= 245 - 110

f(70)= 135

If Stephanie sold the 70 pounds of tomatoes, her profit would be 135 dollars.
