modeling payroll - related problems using linear functions
taylor runs a bakery. each pastry sold earns taylor a profit of $2.00. at the beginning of the month, the bakery starts with earnings of $1,000 from other products.
which equation represents the bakerys total earnings based on the number of pastries sold?
$y = 2.00x+1,50$
$y = 2.00x + 1,00$
$y = 2.50x+1,00$
$y = 2.50x + 1,50$

Explanation:

Step1: Identify fixed and variable parts

Fixed earnings are $1000$, variable is $2$ per pastry. Let $x$ be number of pastries and $y$ be total earnings.

Step2: Form linear - equation

$y = 2.00x+1000$

Answer:

$y = 2.00x + 1000$ (corresponds to the second option in the image assuming the $1,00$ is meant to be $1000$)
