Answer:200b-3000

Explanation:

Let
b be the number of boats the boat house dock.

It is given that the boat house spends $
750 and charges $
950 for each boat.

Let
p be the profit associate with each boat.

So,profit associated with each boat=
p=
950-750=$200

It is also given that there exist a fixed cost of $
3000 for a month.

So,the net profit is
p* b-3000=
200b-3000
