Suppose Sal's total profit on lunch specials for the next month is $1,593. The profit amounts are the same: $2 for each sandwich and $3 for each wrap. In a paragraph of at least three complete sentences, explain how the graphs of the functions for the two months are similar and how they are different.

This is an incomplete problem. Other data were not given.

Given:

Profit of every sandwich = $2

Profit of every wrap = $3

x = sandwich

y = wrap

Last month: 2x + 3y = 1,470

Next month: 2x + 3y = 1,593

Based on the given equation:

Both still have the same profit. $2 for sandwiches and $3 for wraps.

The only reason why there is a difference in the total amount is the change in the number of sandwich or wrap sold in a given month.

Since, next month's total sale is higher than last month's total sale, it is safe to assume that the sale of sandwich or wrap is higher than last month's sale.
