the profit earned by a hot dog stand is a linear function of the number of hot dogs sold. it costs the owner $48 dollars each morning for the days supply of hot dogs, buns and mustard, but he earns $2 profit for each hot dog sold. which equation represents y, the profit earned by the hot dog stand for x hot dogs sold?\n○ y = 48x - 2\n○ y = 48x + 2\n○ y = 2x - 48\n○ y = 2x + 48

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the revenue from selling hot dogs

The profit per hot dog is $2. If (x) hot dogs are sold, the revenue from selling hot dogs is (2x) (since revenue = profit per unit (\times) number of units).

Step2: Consider the cost

The cost of supplies is $48. Profit (y) is revenue minus cost. So, (y = 2x-48)

Answer:

(y = 2x - 48) (the third option)
