The profit can be calculated using the formula:


p=e-c

Where p is the profit, e is the variable for "total earnings", and c is the total cost of production. From the problem, we identify:


c=50

For the total earnings, if Betty sells g glasses for $1:


e=1\cdot g=g

Finally, the profit is given by:


p(g)=g-50
