Since the profit equation has been given to us as


p(m)=3.5m-875

Where m is the number of megaphones sold.

Since m can only take integer values from zero and above.

When no megaphone was sold, p(m)=p(0)=-875

Therefore, the range is;


p(m)\ge-875

However p(m) is not all real numbers.

When 500 megaphones were sold, the profit is;


3.5(500)-875=875

This is the correct range.

Therefore, the range is represented as;


\mleft\lbrace-875,-871.5,\ldots,875\mright\rbrace

Thus the correct option is a. II
