Question

Sybil grows and sells watermelons. The function C = 4n + 15 represents her cost, in

dollars, for producing n watermelons. Her revenue, or the amount she receives for
selling n watermelons, can be represented by the function R = 6n. Which function
represents Sybil's profit, P, for selling n watermelons?

Answer 1

Profit = revenue - cost
So your function is

Profit= 6n - (4n+15)
Which you can simplify to
6n-4n-15
=2n-15

Answer 2

Answer: Sybil's profit is represented by the expression P = 2n+15

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply the Profit formula:

Profit (P) = Revenue (R) - Cost(C)

Since:

• C = 4n + 15
• R = 6n

Replacing with the values given

P= (6n) - (4n + 15)

Subtracting alike terms

P = 6n -4n +15

P = 2n+15

Sybil's profit is represented by the expression P = 2n+15
