Answer:

C. (g − f)x

Step-by-step explanation: Subtract costs (f) from revenue (g) and multiply by bouquets made (x) to find profit.

Example would be if it costs $1 to make each bouquet and she charges $3 for each bouquet made. If she made 5 and sold them it would be...

(g-f)x

(3 - 1) 5 = profit

(2) 5 = $10 profit
