Question

Plentiful Pies determines its annual profits

in dollars using p(x) = 65x - 0.3x2 where x
represents the numbers of pies sold. If Plentiful
Pies sells 175 pies in a year, what will their
annual profits be?

Answer 1

The annual profits will be 2187.5

Explanation:

p(x) = 65x - 0.3x^2

I am guessing that the 2 was supposed to be a square.

Simply plug in the number of pies sold:

p(175) = 65(175) - 0.3(175)^2 = 11375 - 0.3*30625 = 11375 - 9187.5 = 2187.5
