Question

A T-shirt company can produce and sell x T-shirts per day. The total cost C (in dollars) for producing x T-shirts is

C = 1,780 + 7x,
and the total revenue R (in dollars) is
R = 14x.
Find the profit (in dollars) obtained by selling 275 T-shirts per day.

Answer 1

The profit from selling 275 shirts is 3,995

Explanation:

P= R-C

P=14x- (1,780+7x)

since we are producing 275 shirts substitute that for x

P=14(275)-1,780+7(275)

P=3850-1780+1925

P=2070+1925

P=3995
