y = the amount of money
x = the number of candy bars or bags or boxes of candy bars.
6x would mean they get 6 dollars for every bag (I guess).
100 is some sort of fixed cost.

This doesn't seem very real worldish though. $100 fixed cost for a student selling candy bars?

That's fine. But you've asked no question concerning it. What do you need to find out?
