Kate and Pamela share in the profits of a toy store. If the total profit is $65,000 and p is the amount Pamela receives, write an expression for the amount Kate receives.

The profit received by Kate = $ (65,000 - p)

Step-by-step explanation:

The total amount of toy profit = $65,000

The two partners of the toy company = 2

The amount of profit received by Pamela = p

Let us assume the profit received by Kate = k

Now, the amount of profit received by (Kate + Pamela) = $65,000

⇒ p + k = $ 65,000

⇒ k = $65,000 - p

or, the profit received by Kate = $65,000 - p

Hence, an expression for the amount Kate receives is $ (65,000 - p).
