Question

A sports team sells candy bars as a fundraiser. The revenue for selling x candy bars is given by f(x)=3x. The team's profit is $35 less than 75% of the revenue for selling x candy bars. Write a function g to model the profit. Then find the profit for selling 92 candy bars.

Answer 1

$172

Explanation:

Given that the revenue for x items is 3x

75% of the revenue

`=(75)/(100) *3x\\\\= 0.73*3x\\\\=2.25x`

The equation for the profit is given as

g= 2.25x-35

Given that x= 92, the profit will be

g= 2.25(92)-35

g= 207-35

g= 172
