Explanation

This problem requires the knowledge that profit equals revenue minus cost. Memorize the formula: Profit = Revenue – Cost (or Profit = Revenue – Expenses), but you could just think about it logically—a business has to pay its expenses out of the money it makes: the rest is profit.

The cost each time a movie is shown is $1,750.

If the theater charges $6 per ticket and t is the number of tickets, the revenue is 6t.

In order for the profit to be $1 per ticket, the profit must be t dollars.

Plug these values into the equation Profit = Revenue – Cost:

\(t = 6t - 1,750\)

\(-5t = -1,750\)

\(t = 350\)

We can let m = the number of tickets sold and create the equation:

6m - 1750 = 1m

5m = 1750

m = 350

Answer: C

make right format for this question plz

(6x - 1750)/x =1
=> 6x - 1750 = x
=> 6x -x = 1750
=>5x = 1750
therefore, X = 350

In the equation t=6t-1750 formed from the understanding of profit = revenue - expenditure, I can understand the right side of the equation. But I cannot understand the left side. How is profit equal to t from the given statement that each ticket must garner 1$ of profit each?
