Ron wants to make money painting portraits of people at the local mall. The mall charges Ron $22.00 a day for Ron to set up his materials to sell his portraits. He
charges $15.50 a portrait, but it costs him $3.25 in materials to make that portrait.
If x represents the number of portraits that Ron sells at the mall, which of the
following expressions would represent Ron's profit (how much money Ron will walk
away with at the end of the day)? (There is more than one answer)
12. 25x – 22.00
15.50x – 22.00
0-22.00 + 15.50x – 3.25x
15.50x
3. 25x – 22.00
22.00x – 3.25x
15.50
