Answer 1

Answer:

money = 1.45x - .20

Step-by-step explanation:

money made = first subscription + rest of subscriptions

Let x = number of subscriptions

We x-1 for the rest of the subscriptions since we already counted the first one

20 cents more than what was paid for the first one

money = 1.25 +(1.25+.20)(x-1)

money = 1.25 +(1.45)(x-1)

Distribute

money = 1.25 +1.45x-1.45

Combine like terms

money = 1.45x - .20
