Question

A sporting goods store has ordered x tents that cost $95 each. The shipping for the entire order is $160. The store can sell the tents for $200 each. Find the formula for the profit function, P(x) in terms of x

Answer 1

P(x) = Profit = Selling Price - Expenditures 
P(x) = 195x - (100x + 200) 
P(x) = 185x - 100x - 200 
P(x) = 95x - 200 

Hope this helps ^-^
