Billie Sue's BBQ had their grand opening this year. The first month they did not turn a profit. However, each month thereafter, they have had steady profits of $1,900 per month.

If \( x \) represents the number of months they have profited, which of the following equations represents the amount of profits after \( x \) months?

A. \( y = 1,900x \)

B. \( y = x + 1,900 \)

C. \( y = 1,900 - x \)

D. \( y = 1,900x + x \)

Since each month profit is $1,900, it should be multiplied by 1900 as the time goes by. For example, one month profit is 1900, two month profits are 2 1900, three months profits are 3 1900, and so on...
So, it's Y (the amount of profits after X months) = 1900*X

The equation that represents the profits after x months for Billie Sue's BBQ is option A: y = 1 , 900 x . This equation correctly shows that total profits are calculated by multiplying the number of profitable months by $1,900. Therefore, as they profit for more months, their total profits increase directly with the number of months worked.
