An art club sells 42 large candles and 56 small candles. a. Write and simplify an expression that represents the profit.
expression for the profit: _(_-x)+_(_-y)
simplified expression for the profit: _
b. A large candle costs $5, and a small candle costs $3. What is the club’s profit?
club's profit: $__

Profit = $(700 - 42x - 56y)

Step-by-step explanation:

For large candles, the selling price is $10 and its making cost is $x.

So, by selling a large candle the profit is $(10 - x)

Again for small candles, the selling price is $5 and its making cost is $y.

So, by selling a small candle the profit is $(5 - y)

Therefore, in a sell of 42 large candles and 56 small candles the total profit will be, P = 42 (10 - x) + 56 (5 - y)

⇒ P = 420 - 42x + 280 - 56y {Applying distributive property}

⇒ P = $(700 - 42x - 56y) (Answer)
