-1,135

Answer 1

Explanation:

The total weekly profit p, in dollars, from producing and selling x units of a certain product is given by the function p(x) = 225x-(165x+c), where c is a constant. If 75 units were produced and sold last week for a profit of $3,365, what is the value of c?

$3,365 = 225(75) - (165(75) + c)

$3,365 = 16,875 - 165(75) - c

$3,365 = 16,875 - 12,375 - c

$3,365 = 4,500 - c

=1,135 = - c

c = 1,135
