Using R for revenue, C for cost, and P for profit, write an expression for selling x thousand items if the the following is true.
Item price: $8.00
Fixed Costs $71,174
Variable Costs $3816x
---------------
Comment: "Variable Costs" is not a standard finance item, especially
when it contains a variable in its expression.
------------------------
Revenue = (price)*(number of items sold) = 8*x
Profit = Revenue - Cost= 8x - 71,174-3816x
