rent is 500 for the month.
they charge their students 35 per hour.
they have 20 students each week.
their profit is?

there are 4 weeks in the month.

therefore, they have 80 students each month.

the revenue formula becomes r = 35 * x.
the cost formula becomes c = 500
the profit formula becomes p = 35 * x - 500

since x = 80, the profit formula becomes p = 35 * 80 - 500.
simplify to get p = 2800 - 500.
solve for p to get p = 2100 per month.
that's their profit.
