Car wash a theater group is having a carwash fundraiser. the liquid soap costs $34 and is enough to wash 40 cars. each car is charged $5. a. if c is the total number of cars washed and p is the profit, which is the independent variable and which is the dependent variable? b. is the relationship between c and p a function? explain. c. write an equation that shows this relationship. d. find a reasonable domain and range for the situation.

a.If c is the total number of cars washed and p is the profit

The profit depends on the total number of cars washed.

So profit P is the dependent variable and C is the independent variable

(b) yes, the relationship between c and p a function

Because for each input for c, there will be an unique output for P

(c) C is the number of cars

Each car charged is $5

So C cars charged is 5C

The liquid soap costs $34 and is enough to wash 40 cars. So we subtract 34

Hence Profit P = 5c - 34

The equation is P = 5c - 34

(d) The liquid soap costs $34 and is enough to wash 40 cars

So number of cars is 0 to 40

0<=c <=40

soap costs $34

so profit is above 34

When cars = 40 then profit is 5(40) - 34= 166

So profit lies between 34  and 166

34<= P<= 166

if you are looking for the unit rate then the answer would be 9 because unit rate is distance divided by time.
