    P (n) = 150n-2800

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The fixed cost to operate the boathouse is $2800/month. It also has a cost of $750/month for every boat it docks.

    If n boats are docked, then the total monthly cost is expressed as

    C = 2800+750n

    The boathouse charges $900/month for every boat docked. The revenue for n boats will be

    R = 900n

    The profit function can be constructed by subtracting revenue and cost

    p (n) = 900n - (2800+750n)

    p (n) = 150n-2800

    Answer: Profit (n) = 150 n - 2800

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Hi, to answer this question we have to multiply the number of boats (n) by the revenue for each boat docked ($900) minus the cost of each boat docked ($750) and then, subtract the operation cost ($2800).

    Mathematically speaking

    Profit (n) = (900 - 750) n - 2800

    Simplyfiyng:

    Profit (n) = 150 n - 2800

    Where:

    n = number of boats
