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?

40x – 30; $2,400
40x – 30; $9,570
70x + 50; $16, 850
70x + 50; $28,800

Answer 1

Answer:

ok so what we need to do is replace x with 240 so

480^2 – 3600 – 40

230400-3600-40

226760 so the cell phone company makes 226760 dollars if they sell 240 cell phones

Answer 2

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

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.
