Answer:

Option A : y = 40x - 85 is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Cost of purchasing supplies = $85

Cost charged for cleaning a pool = $40

Let,

x be the number of pools cleaned.

y be the profit

Profit = Cost of pools cleaned - purchase price of supplies

y = 40x - 85

Hence,

Option A : y = 40x - 85 is the correct answer.
