SOLVINGS

Given:

A company makes and sells charm bracelets.

The cost of producing x bracelets is represented by the function C(x) = 180 +

8x

The revenue earned from selling x bracelets is represented by the function

R(x) = 20x.

Explanation of terms:

For x bracelets,

Cost of production is C(x); C(x) = 180 + 8x

Revenue earned is R(x); R(x) = 20x.Profit made is P(x); P(x) is unknown

Profit made = Revenue earned – Cost of production

∴ P(x) = R(x) – C(x)

P(x) = 20x – (180 + 8x)

P(x) = 20x – 180 – 8x

P(x) = 12x – 180

The profit made from selling x bracelets is represented by the function P(x) =

12x – 180
