As a fundraiser, the band is selling cookies. The cost to make each cookie can be written as c(x) = 0.25x + 0.5 and the functions that represents the amount they sell the cookie for can be written as s(x) = 2x. What function represents the profit, P(x), for each function?

Answer 1

s(x) - c(x)
2x - (0.25 + 0.5)
1.75x - 0.5 is the profit.
