Question

if p(x) = 4x -2 and p is the profit and x is the number of boxes of cookies sold. Then how much does each box of cookies cost?

Answer 1

Greetings from Brasil...

Given the function of this factory (P(X)), we want to know the profit (P) for a box of cookie, that is, when X = 1

P(X) = 4X - 2

for 1 box of cookies, X = 1, so

P(1) = 4.1 - 2

P(1) = 4 - 2

P(1) = 2

So, for 1 box of cookie will cost $2
