Carter Dunn · Answer 1

A) 0.2 * (2000 + 350s) = 400 + 70s

B) $3900

Step-by-step explanation:

A) Given the expression: 0.2 * (2000 + 350s). Applying the distributive property of multiplication over addition, we get:

0.2 * (2000 + 350s) = 0.2*2000 + 0.2*350s = 400 + 70s

B) Replacing s = 50 into the equation:

0.2*[2000 + 350 (50) ] = 0.2*[2000 + 17500] = 0.2 * 19500 = $3900

Francesca Boyd · Answer 2

Part A: Profit = 400 + 70 s, Part B : $3900

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

We know that the expression is: 0.2 (2000 + 350 s). Using the distributive property:

Profit = 0.2 · 2000 + 0.2 · 350 s = 400 + 70 s

Part B:

The company's yearly profit when: s = 50 (the total number of students)

P (50) = 400 + 70 · 50 = 400 + 3500 = $3900
