    The needed equation representing the profit y is represented in the option B. B. y = - x² + 50 x - 300

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Here, the given options are incomplete.

    A. y² = 4 x² - 100

    B. y = - x² + 50 x - 300

    C. x = - y² + 60 y - 400

    D. x ² = - 6 y² + 200

    The number of items sold by the company = x

    The profit (in thousands) is represented as = y

    Now, here as we are looking for the equation representing profit (y)

    So, we can disregard the equations which has terms (x) and (x²) in left.

    ⇒The equations in the options C and D are eliminated.

    Similarly, again we are looking for the equation for Profit, not (profit) ².

    So, we can disregard the equation which has terms (y²) in left side.

    ⇒The equation in the options A is eliminated.

    Hence, the needed equation representing the profit y is represented in the option B.

    B. y = - x² + 50 x - 300
