College algebra: I need to find the weekly profit from the production and sale of X television sets

Question

Suppose that the total weekly cost for the production and sale of television sets is C(x) = 189x + 5460 and that the total revenue is given by R (x) = 988x, where x is the number of televisions and C(x) and R(x) are in dollars. Form and simplify the profit function (P) that models the weekly profit from the production and sale of x television sets

Answer 1

P(x) = R(x) - C(x) = 988x - ( 189x + 5460)

= 988x - 189x - 5460

= 799x - 5460
