The equation that represents your total earnings is:
T = 50x
You plan to sell each cake for $50. Write an equation that represents your total earnings, T, based on the price of your cake and how many you sell. Let x represent the number of cakes you sell.
* Use T and x as your variables
T = 50x
T = 50x
Here, T represents the total earnings, x represents the number of cakes you sell, and 50 represents the price per cake.
T = x * p
Where:
T is the total earnings,
x is the number of cakes you sell, and
p is the price of each cake.
In this case, the price of each cake is $50, so the equation becomes:
T = 50x
So, if you sell, for example, 10 cakes, you can determine your total earnings by substituting x with 10:
T = 50 * 10
T = 500
Therefore, if you sell 10 cakes, your total earnings will be $500.
