Pant shop makes bumper stickers for $0.95 each. How many stickers does the shop need to sell in order to produce a profit? Use the fact that revenue is equal to the price per sticker multiplied by the number of stickers sold, and profit is equal to revenue minus the cost of producing the stickers. Express the profit as a function of the number of stickers sold, and find the difference of two functions of x. Alx)=

Step 1
It seems that we have a sticker price of $0.25 per sticker, and the cost of producing an order of x stickers is given by the function 100 + 0.05x. Now, let's find the revenue function. Revenue is the product of the number of items sold (x) and the price per item Show more…

Revenue, cost, and Profit A print shop makes bumper stickers for election campaigns. If $x$ stickers are ordered (where $x<10,000$ ), then the price per bumper sticker is $0.15-0.000002 x$ dollars, and the total cost of producing the order is $0.095 x-0.0000005 x^{2}$ dollars. Use the fact that to express $P(x)$. the profit on an order of $x$ stickers, as a difference of two functions of $x$.
