Question

As a fundraiser, the Robotics team is selling cookies. The cost to make each cookie can be written as c(x)=0.25x+0.5 and the functions that represents the amount they sell the cookie for can be written as s(x)=2x. Write a function represents the profit, P(x)

Answer 1

The profit is 1.75x-0.5

Explanation:

Mathematically,

profit = sales - cost

So with respect to this case, we have that;

Profit = s(x) - c(x)

Profit = 2x - (0.25x + 0.5)

Profit = 2x - 0.25x -0.5

Profit = 1.75x - 0.5
