ANSWER

P(n)=2n-125

Step-by-step explanation

Profit equals selling price minus cost price.

P(n)=R(n)-C(n)

The cost price is given by the function;

C(n)= 2n + 125

The selling price is represented by the function:

R(n)=4n

The function that represents the profit function is :

P(n)=4n-(2n+125)

Expand

P(n)=4n-2n-125

Simplify:

P(n)=2n-125
