Question 151982: Your profit P is determined by subtracting the cost C (the amount of money it costs to operate a business) from the revenue R (the amount of money you earn from selling your product). Profit can be represented algebraically by the equations:
Profit=Revenue-Cost
OR
P = R - C
a)Rewrite the formula to solve for C.
