Sierra's ice cream shop made $45 before she had to close early when the power went out. She realized she lost 3 of
a dollar each hour when the shop was closed. The expression that models this situation is 45-n. What was Sierra's
profit if the shop was closed for 8 hours?
$24
$36 $41
$49 hurry I'm being timed!

Answer:

We know that the expression that models the situation is:

45 - n

Where n is the amount that she lost.

We know that she lost $3 for each hour closed.

And the shop was 8 hours closed, so the total loss is:

8*$3 = $24

The profit is the difference between the revenue (we know that it is $45) and the loss (we know that it is $24)

Then the profit is:

$45 - $24 = $21
