What is the average profit on producing and selling 40 items per day

In summary, the business has an average cost of AC(x)= (100x+ 2)/x and an average revenue per day of AR(x)= (100x+ 3)/x. To find the average profit, we need to subtract the average cost from the average revenue. In order to have an average daily profit of $80, the business would need to sell a number of items that would make the average profit equal to $80.

Please go back, reread the problem, and copy it correctly! I feel sure the average cost is NOT "
100x+2x/x= 100x+ 2". I might guess (100x+ 2x)/x but that is just 102. My best guess is that you meant "AC(x)= (100x+ 2)/x and that AR(x)=(100x+ 3)/x, NOT "100x+ 3/x".

Now, do you know what "revenue" and "cost" mean and how to find profit from them?

1. What is the definition of profit?

Profit is the financial gain that is achieved after deducting all expenses, including the cost of production and operating costs, from the total revenue earned.

2. How is the average profit calculated?

The average profit is calculated by dividing the total profit earned by the number of items produced and sold. In this case, we would divide the profit earned from selling 40 items by 40.

3. What factors affect the average profit?

The average profit can be affected by various factors, such as the cost of production, the selling price of the items, the demand for the items, and any additional expenses incurred in the production and selling process.

4. Is the average profit a reliable indicator of business success?

The average profit can be a useful indicator of business success, but it should not be the only factor considered. Other factors, such as the growth of the business and customer satisfaction, should also be taken into account.

5. How can the average profit be increased?

The average profit can be increased by reducing production and operating costs, increasing the selling price of the items, and improving the efficiency of the production and selling process. Market research and identifying new opportunities can also help increase profits.
