Analyze both functions and describe in detail under what conditions Stephanie's profit, in dollars, would be greater than Bryson's profit. Provide evidence to support your answer.

The number of tomatoes must be less than 40.

Step-by-step explanation:

Stephanie and Bryson both grow tomatoes to sell at farmers' markets. Stephanie grew a total of 70 pounds  of tomatoes to sell. She plans to sell the tomatoes for $3.50 per pound. The equation below represents the  profit in dollars, f(x), she will earn by selling x pounds of the tomatoes.

f(x) = 3.50x -110

Bryson plans to sell his tomatoes at a different farmers' market. He grew a total of 90 pounds of tomatoes.

The table below shows the profit, in dollars, he will earn by selling different numbers of pounds of

tomatoes.

-97.50 -55.00 -12.50 30,00

Profit (dollars)

Tomatoes Sold

40

Solution:

For Stephanie, let x represent the number tomatoes sold and f(x) represent the profit in dollars. The profit is given by:

f(x) = 3.5x - 110

For Bryson, let x represent the number tomatoes sold and y represent the profit in dollars. From the table, the profit can be represented by the points (10, -97.5) and (40, 30). The profit can be gotten using the formula:

Stephanie profit > Bryson profit

3.5x - 110 > 4.25x - 140

3.5x - 4.25x > -140 + 110

-0.75x > -30

x < 40

341

step-by-step explanation:

all you have to do is 9x31 (which equals 279) and then 20x31 (which equals 620). then you have to subtract. 620-279=341.
