Answer:

[tex]y=35\cdot{x}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The two expenses for the phones is $40 and $25 per phone. It is sold for $100. The amount of earnings is the sale price of the phone minus the expense for the phone. Let x be the number of phones they sell and y be the earnings. The expression is:
