Hi there,

Recall how each bracelet sells for 6 dollars.

Hence, the expression for selling b bracelets is 6b, where b is the number of bracelets sold for the price of 6 dollars.

Profit is the actual amount of money that is earned after you subtract expenses from the total sales.

For instance, if you make $100 from selling items, and you spent $25 on your supplies, then your profit is
100-25=75.

In this case, you need to subtract the $28 spent on supplies from the amount of money that you have made, which is the expression 6b.

Hence, the expression for the profit is:
6b-28

Hope that helps.
