Question

drag each label to the correct location in the equation.
sakeem is a landscape architect. when he creates a lawn, his supplier charges $0.43 per square foot for sod. sakeem charges his customers $2.00 per square foot to lay the sod. the profit sakeem makes when creating a lawn varies directly as the number of square feet of sod he lays.
create an equation to show sakeem’s profit when laying sod, where y is the profit and x is the number of square feet of sod. recall that profit is the difference of the amount earned and the amount spent.
1.57 y x y² 0.43 2.00 x²

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate profit per square foot

$\text{Profit per sq ft} = 2.00 - 0.43 = 1.57$

Step2: Define total profit equation

Total profit $y$ equals profit per square foot times number of square feet $x$, so $y = 1.57x$, which rearranges to $\frac{y}{x} = 1.57$.

Answer:

$\boldsymbol{\frac{y}{x} = 1.57}$
(Top box: $y$, Bottom box: $x$, Right box: $1.57$)
