Which function represents the monthly profit, 𝑃(𝑥) ? A. 𝑃(𝑥)=5.75𝑥+1,200 B. 𝑃(𝑥)=5.75𝑥−1,200 C. 𝑃(𝑥)=1,200+19.25𝑥 D. 𝑃(𝑥)=6.25𝑥−1,200
Question
The monthly rent for a pizza parlor is 6.75. The monthly expenses for the pizza parlor are given by the function 𝐸(𝑥)=1,200+6.75𝑥 , where x is the number of pizzas sold. For x pizzas sold, the pizza parlor's revenue is given by the function 𝑅(𝑥)=12.5𝑥 .The monthly profit of the pizza parlor is the difference between its revenue and its expenses. Which function represents the monthly profit, 𝑃(𝑥) ? A. 𝑃(𝑥)=5.75𝑥+1,200 B. 𝑃(𝑥)=5.75𝑥−1,200 C. 𝑃(𝑥)=1,200+19.25𝑥 D. 𝑃(𝑥)=6.25𝑥−1,200
Solution
The monthly profit, P(x), is given by the difference between the revenue and the expenses. So, we subtract the expense function E(x) from the revenue function R(x).
The revenue function R(x) is 12.5x and the expense function E(x) is 1200 + 6.75x.
So, P(x) = R(x) - E(x) = 12.5x - (1200 + 6.75x).
Simplify the equation by combining like terms:
P(x) = 12.5x - 1200 - 6.75x P(x) = (12.5 - 6.75)x - 1200 P(x) = 5.75x - 1200
So, the function that represents the monthly profit is 𝑃(𝑥)=5.75𝑥−1,200. Therefore, the correct answer is B. 𝑃(𝑥)=5.75𝑥−1,200.
