Question

profit is the difference between revenue and cost. the revenue, in dollars, of a company that manufactures cell phones can be modeled by the polynomial 2x2 55x 10. the cost, in dollars, of producing the cell phones can be modeled by 2x2 – 15x – 40. the variable x represents the number of cell phones sold. what expression represents the profit, and what is the profit if 240 cell phones are sold?

Answer 1

Given that the equation of the revenue is R=2x2+55x+10 and the equation of the cost is C=2x2 – 15x – 40, you will get the profit by subtracting the revenue from the cost: R-C=P. Therefore, P=(2x2+55x+10)-(2x2 – 15x – 40). You will get P=70x+50 where x is is the number of cellphones sold. If 240 cellphones are sold, then the profit is 16850 dollars.

Answer 2

Answer:

70x + 50; $16, 850
