Answer:
The total profit is [tex]p = 17x + 2124[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The profit made on each mp3 is k = $35
The profit made on each mp3 is y = $18
The total amount sold is n = 118
Now given that the amount of mp3 sold is x then the amount of DVD sold is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]n - x[/tex]
Now the profit made on the x number of mp3 sold is
[tex]x * 35 = 3x[/tex]
And the the profit made from the n-x number of DVD sold is 18 (n-x ) = 18 - 18x
So the total profit made last week from the sales of both mp3 and DVD is
[tex]p = 35x + 18n - 18x[/tex]
[tex]p = 17x + 18(118)[/tex]
[tex]p = 17x + 2124[/tex]
