What is the p(x) and profit for selling 100 tickets

Answer 1

P(x) is the profit amount from selling tickets.

P(100) = $160

Step By Step Step-by-step explanation:

First, plug in r(x) and c(x) into the p(x) equation:

p(x) = r(x) - c(x)

p(x) = (10x) - (8x+40)

Then simplify it:

p(x) = 10x - 8x - 40 {just distribute a +1 into the parentheses}

p(x) = 2x - 40 {combine like terms}

Now substitute 100 for x:

p(100) = 2(100) - 40

Then solve:

p(100) = 200 - 40

p(100) = 160
