At a dinner theatre the owner charges $25 per ticket. She pays her employees $18,500. Each customer leaves with a free dessert that cost the owner $5 per dessert. Write an equation for cost and income.

Cost: y = 5x + 18500 Income: y = 25x

Cost: y = 5 + 18500 Income: y = 25

Cost: y = 25x + 18500 Income: y = 5x

Cost: y = 5x + 25 Income: y = 18500

The cost to take pictures at a school dance is $200 for the photographer and $3 per print. The dance committee plans to charge $5 per print. Write the equation for the Income and the Expenses.

Income = 200 + 3x, Expenses = 5x

Income = -5x, Expenses = 200 - 3x

Income = 200 + 3x, Expenses = 5x + 200
