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
Rewrite the formula to solve for C.
P+C=R
C=R-P
To solve for C (cost), we need to rearrange the equation P = R - C.
First, we want to isolate C by moving R to the right side of the equation. We can do this by subtracting R from both sides:
P - R = R - C - R
Simplifying the right side:
P - R = -C
Next, we want to isolate C by multiplying both sides of the equation by -1:
-(P - R) = -(-C)
Simplifying the left side:
-R + P = C
Therefore, the formula to solve for C (cost) is:
C = -R + P
