Write an expression that represents the profit for 25 pennants, 80 buttons and 40 caps.

To calculate the profit, we need to know the cost and selling price of each item. Let's assume that the cost of one pennant is $5, the cost of one button is $2, and the cost of one cap is $8. Let's also assume that the selling price of one pennant is $10, the selling price of one button is $4, and the selling price of one cap is $12.
To calculate the profit for each type of item, we subtract the cost from the selling price. Then, we multiply the profit for each type of item by the quantity of that item.
So, the expression for the profit can be calculated as follows:
Profit = (Selling price per pennant - Cost per pennant) * Quantity of pennants
+ (Selling price per button - Cost per button) * Quantity of buttons
+ (Selling price per cap - Cost per cap) * Quantity of caps
Substituting the given values:
Profit = (10 - 5) * 25 + (4 - 2) * 80 + (12 - 8) * 40
Now we can simplify the expression:
Profit = 5 * 25 + 2 * 80 + 4 * 40
Profit = 125 + 160 + 160
Profit = 445
Therefore, the expression that represents the profit for 25 pennants, 80 buttons, and 40 caps is 445.
