Question

Duru has an ice-cream stand, which she opens on days that are forecasted to be warmer than 10°C.
When open for business, her daily profit, P, is a function of the number of cones she sells, n, and can be
modeled by the function P(n) = 2n – 20. Additionally, she finds that the number of cones she sells, C.
is a function of the average temperature, t, in degrees Celsius (°C), and can be modeled by the function
C(t) = 50 + 10(t – 10).
Find an explicit expression that gives Duru’s profit on a day with an average temperature of t° C.

    Answer:

    P(c(t)) =  20t-120

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given

    P(n) = 2n - 20

    C(t) = 50 + 10(t - 10)

    Required

    Determine P(C(t))

    The implication of the question is to solve for P(C(t))

    Given that

    C(t) = 50 + 10(t - 10) and P(n) = 2n - 20

    P(c(t)) would be

    P(c(t)) = 2(50 + 10(t - 10)) - 20

    P(c(t)) = 2(50 + 10t - 100) - 20

    P(c(t)) = 2(50  - 100+ 10t) - 20

    P(c(t)) = 2(-50+ 10t) - 20

    Open Bracket

    P(c(t)) = -100+ 20t - 20

    Collect Like Terms

    P(c(t)) =  20t-100 - 20

    P(c(t)) =  20t-120
