Answer: F(x, y) = 40x + 25y

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

x = number of leather wallets

y = number of canvas wallets

PROFIT on canvas wallet = $25

PROFIT on leather wallet = $40

Function that calculates the total profit on both wallets:

Profit on each wallet type is the product of the profit per wallet and the number of wallet.

The total profit generated on each wallet type is given by :

F(x) = 40x - - - - (1) leather wallet

F(y) = 25y - - - - (2) canvas wallet

Adding (1) and (2) to get total profit on both wallets:

F(x, y) = 40x + 25y
