The profit earned by a hot dog stand is a linear function of the number of hot dogs sold. It costs the owner $48 dollars each morning for the day's supply of hot dogs, buns and mustard, but he earns $2 profit for each hot dog sold. Which equation represents \(y\), the profit earned by the hot dog stand for \(x\) hot dogs sold?

A. \(y=48 x-2\)
B. \(y=48 x+2\)
C. \(y=2 x-48\)
D. \(y=2 x+48\)

First, you add 15%+5% which equals 20%.
Second, you find 20% of $200. You turn 20% into a decimal, which is 0.20. Then multiply 200 times 0.20 which is 40. $40 is the amount the author gave away.
Third, you subtract 200-40 which equals $160. He takes home $160.
Hope that helped! :)

The author takes home $160.00 after giving away 5% to literacy programs and 15% to his manager from a total profit of $200.00. This is calculated by first finding the total percentage given away and then subtracting it from the total profit. Ultimately, he retains 80% of his profit.
