You have used "x" and "y" in the previous equation you wrote, but you have not said what each of those variables represents.

Please DO that, and perhaps I can show you how the information about how much the store generates per hour can indeed help!

I'll wait until you define the variables to proceed.

X represents the dollar per week each infant pays and Y represents the dollar per week pre-K's pay
