Alex makes ceramic bowls to sell at a monthly craft fair in a nearby city. Every month, she spends $50 on materials for the bowls from a local art store. At the fair, she sells each completed bowl for a total of $25 including tax. Which equation expresses Alex's profit as a function of the number of bowls that she sells in one month.

1) p (x) = 50x+25

2) p (x) = 15x+25

3) p (x) = 25x

4) p (x) = 25x-50

Why?

    The answer is p (x) = 25x - 50

    profit = total selling price - cost

    x = number of bowls he must sell to make a profit

    if he sell 1 bowl he will make a lost

    2 bowls even up

    thus he must sells 3 bowls or more to make a profit
