Question

A theater group charges $12.50 per ticket for its opening play of the season. Production costs for the play are $150. Which function could be used to determine the profit the theater group earns from selling x tickets?

Answer 1

Answer:

$P(x)=12.50x-150.$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of tickets sold. If a theater group charges $12.50 per ticket for its opening play of the season, then x tickets cost $12.50x. Production costs for the play are $150. Then the profit the theater group earns from selling x tickets is

$P(x)=12.50x-150.$
