Given the statement:
You have $2 and earn $0.50 for each cup of lemonade you sell.
Write the statement to represent the total amount you earn in selling lemonade.
Solution:
The representation for the total dollars earned in selling lemonade can be illustrated as,
Let c = number of cups
Total dollars earned = 2 + 0.5c
Hence we've added 0.5c, to 2, since you have an initial money of $2.
Final answer:
Total dollars earned = 2 + 0.5c
