You set up the lemonade stand. Your profit is equal to your revenue from lemonade sales minus your cost to operate the stand. Your cost is $8 profit is $30

Question

Lemonade is 50 cents per cup

Answer 1

Hello!

 

To set up the equation, you can start with Profit = Revenue - Cost.

 

It says the cost is 8.00, and the lemonade is sold for 0.50 per cup.

 

So, Profit = 0.50x - 8.00 where x = number of cups.

 

If Profit is 30.00, then the equation is 30 = 0.5x - 8, and you can solve for x by adding 8 to each side and then dividing by 0.5.

 

I hope that helps! Please let me know if you have any questions.
