Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, the profit formula:

PROFIT= TOTAL REVENUE - TOTAL COST

Next, note the points:

- Without Advertisement, Q = 6,000 where Q is quantity supplied

- A formula that gives the total profit P in dollars must take into account that 100cents = 1dollar

- Here, only a dollar is spent on advertisement, hence, Q = 6005

- Advertising expenses have been accounted for and [P = 9cents × Q] where Q is quantity sold.

- 9 cents = 0.09 dollars

TOTAL PROFIT FORMULA = 0.09Q - 500
