Question 19 • CMS 2026-2027 NC Math 1 CREDIT RECOVERY

The revenue, in dollars, of a company that makes toy cars can be modeled by the polynomial 3 x squared plus 4 x minus 60 The cost, in dollars, of producing the toy cars can be modeled by 3 x squared minus x plus 200 The number of toy cars sold is represented by x If the profit is the difference between the revenue and the cost, what expression represents the profit?

Answer
A
3 x plus 140
B
3 x minus 260
C
5 x plus 140
D
5 x minus 260

Explanation

Profit equals revenue minus cost. Subtract the cost polynomial from the revenue: (3x² + 4x − 60) − (3x² − x + 200). The x² terms cancel, and combining the remaining terms gives 4x + x − 60 − 200 = 5x − 260. The profit is 5x minus 260, choice D.
