A company‘s cost, in dollars, of manufacturing x tablets, computers, can be presented by 20x+200. The companies predicted revenue of selling x tablet, computers, is 100 + 30x.

A) Write a polynomial expression that represents the profit of selling X tablets.

B) if the company sells 100 computers, how much profit will the company make?

Remember that

The profit is equal to the revenue minus the cost

so

Let

P -----> profit

P(x)=(100+30x)-(20x+200)

P(x)=10x-100

answer part a is (10x-100)

Part b

For x=100 computers

substitute the value of x in the expression of P(x)

p(x)=10(100)-100

p(x)=900

therefore

answer part b is $900
