The cost to produce one compact disc is ​$1.75 plus a​ one-time fixed cost of ​$2900. The revenue received from selling one compact disc is ​$10.Profit equals revenue minus cost. Write a formula that calculates the profit P from selling x compact discs.

1 answer

The formula that calculates the profit P from selling x compact discs can be expressed as:

P = (Revenue per unit * Number of units sold) - Total cost

Given that the revenue received from selling one compact disc is $10, and the cost to produce one compact disc is $1.75 plus a one-time fixed cost of $2900, we can substitute these values into the formula:

P = ($10 * x) - ($1.75 * x + $2900)

Simplifying further, we get:

P = $10x - $1.75x - $2900
