Answer:

Profit = $279,100

Step-by-step explanation:

We know

Profit = Revenue - Cost

Given Cost equation and Revenue equation, we can find profit equation. Shown below:

[tex]Profit=Revenue-Cost\\P(x)=R(x)-C(x)\\P(x)=4x-(0.5x+900)\\P(x)=4x-0.5x-900\\P(x)=3.5x-900[/tex]

Where x, is the number of packages.

The company will profit when selling 80,000 packages is:

[tex]P(x)=3.5x-900\\P(80000)=3.5(80000)-900=279,100[/tex]

Profit = $279,100
