Nora wants to figure out how many loaves of apple strudel loaf she should bake to maximize her profits from her booth at a neighborhood fair. She has calculated her total sales to be s(x) = x(8 − 0.05x) where x is the number of loaves sold. Her expenses were $20 to rent the booth and $1.50 for each loaf of bread in materials and energy costs for baking. Find a function rule, f(x) that models Nora's profit (sales − expenses).

Step-by-step explanation:

(sales − expenses)          <===== plug in the values given for these terms:

x(8- .05x)  - 20  -  1.5 x     = profit     expand and simplify

8x - .05x^2 -20 - 1.5x

f(x) = profit = - .05x^2 + 6.5x -20
