Answer 1

Hi Kim!

I hope this answer makes sense. I'm going to write out how to solve this problem step by step.

So if I understand the question correctly, a computer sells for $1, 070 per unit and a hard drive sells for $127 per unit. X represents computers and Y represents hard drives.

1. We will use R to represent revenue.
2. Revenue is equal to (the price of the computer sold times the number of computers sold) plus (the price of the hard drive sold times the number of hard drives sold).
3. If we put in our values, we get:

R = $1,070X × $127Y

I hope that helps!
