There seems to be an error in the question. Based on your profit function, there are no values @ 80,000 between x = 0 and x = 50. If you meant, however, 800,000, we are in business.
Our profit function must = 800,000. So,

We set our function = 0 and estimate

x = 31.5379 gives us a profit of ~ $800,000.51.
Now if you selling something, we would have to measure in integer units.
