cupcakes are produced. What is the best interpretation of the number 80 in this context?
80 is a number of cupcakes for which the profit is equal to $0.
B
80 is the number of cupcakes that corresponds to the maximum profit.
80 is the number of cupcakes that corresponds to the minimum profit.
880 is the maximum profit, in dollars.

The best interpretation of the number 80 in the context of the given equation will be in option A, i.e. 80 is a number of cupcakes for which the profit is equal to $0.

What is Profit?

Profit is the amount which we earned after selling something at a price more than its cost price.

We have,

P(q) = -0.01 (q - 250) (q- 80)

Where,

P(q) = profit earned by a cupcake bakery in dollars

q = cupcakes produced

So,

Now,

We have to find out the context of 80 in given equation,

So,

Lets substitute q = 80, in the given equation,

i.e.

P(q) = -0.01 (q - 250) (q- 80)

⇒

P(80) = -0.01 (80 - 250) (80- 80)

We get,

P(80) = -0.01 (- 170) (0)

i.e.

P(80) = 0

So, 80 is a number of cupcakes for which the profit is equal to $0.

Hence, we can say that the best interpretation of the number 80 in the context of the given equation will be in option A, i.e. 80 is a number of cupcakes for which the profit is equal to $0.
