Question

you plan to open a lemonade stand near where you live. The cost to buy the wood is $60 and the cost to make the lemonade is $3 per cup. You plan to sell each cup pf lemonade for $5. Let x be the number of cups of lemonade sold. Write a function P(x) that represents the total profit you earned from selling x cups of lemonade

Answer 1

P(x)=2x-60

Explanation:

From the information provided, the function P(x) would indicate that the total profit you earned from selling x cups of lemonade is equal to the result of multiplying the price per cup for the number of cups minus the total cost. This cost is the result of adding up the cost of buying wood plus the cost per cup for the number of cups:

P(x)=5x-(60+3x)

P(x)=5x-60-3x

P(x)=2x-60

According to this, the function is: P(x)=2x-60.
