A pizza shop owner determined the annual profit in dollars from selling pizzas using p(n) = 32n - 0.04n ^ 2 where n is the number of pizzas sold. What is the annual profit if the pizza shop owner sells 350 pizzas?

Answer 1

To find the annual profit, we need to substitute n = 350 into the equation p(n) = 32n - 0.04n^2:

p(350) = 32(350) - 0.04(350)^2

p(350) = 11,200 - 0.04(122,500)

p(350) = 11,200 - 4,900

p(350) = 6,300

Therefore, the annual profit is $6,300.
