Answer: Profit = 0.4x - 25
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of cookies that he makes and sells.
Profit = Revenue - total cost
Manny purchased a set of cookie cutters for $25. The ingredients for his cookies will cost him $0.35 per Cookie. This means that his total cost of producing x cookies is
0.35x + 25
He plans to sell cookies for $0.75 each. This means that the revenue generated from selling x cookies is 0.75x
Therefore, the equation giving Manny's total profit per cookie as a function of the number of cookies he makes is
Profit = 0.75x - (0.35x + 25)
Profit = 0.75x - 0.35x - 25
Profit = 0.4x - 25
