Because you did not think logically or thinking a real-world scenario
The cost of an item or the revenue is always the quantity \times the price
I would say: sell 10 TV $1000 each I gain $10,000. Pretty straight
Now, the profit is = revenue - costs, and the difference I charge over the sell is the mark-up
If x is the quantity
C is the price to buy them
R is the price I made selling them.
Of course, my profit what I gain is the quantity x \times the selling price minus the buy price
I buy 10 apples one dollar each I spend 10 dollars
I sell 10 apples for 1.5 dollars so my gain is 15
My revenue is 10 apples at 15 dollars in total with my profit of 5 dollars.
\(x(r-c)\)
Why did you used algebra ?? makes no sense
I hope this helps
The answers are given on variables, so i thought it is quickest to solve it in algebraic way.
However, I may went off of using the algebra and make it complicated.
Need work on that and the time management too.
Thank Carcass for the explanation. really appreciate the effort of you in this forum.
