The student council has decided to sell t-shirts for a fundraiser. The printing company charges a $75 set-up fee plus $3 per shirt. The student council plans to sell their t-shirts for $12 per shirt. Write a function p(t) to represent the student council's profits.

Respuesta :

R(t)= 12t E(t)= 3t + 75 P(t)= (r- e)(t) 12(t) - (3t + 75) 12t - 3t - 75 P(t)= 9t- 75 P(t)= 9t-75 Hope this helps.
so we must minus the fees

fees are 75+3 dollars per shirt

so if t=number of shirts

fees=3t+75

that that is a minus from their profits

they sell it for 12 dollars per shirt
so
cost=fees=3t+75
money made=12t

money made-cost=profit=12t-(3t+75)=12t-3t-75=9t-75

p(t)=9t-75
