p=2000 - 13*hp=2000−13⋅h

Explanation:

Your profit will equal however much you made minus however much you spent.

In the question, Jim makes $3000$3000 from the Christmas trees.

However, it costs him $1000$1000 to transport the trees, and $13$13 for every hour, hh, that his employees work.

So his costs are 1000 + 13*h1000+13⋅h, the $1000$1000 set price for transporting the trees, and the amount he has to pay his employees, $13$13 for every hour.

So he made 30003000 but he spent 1000 + 13*h1000+13⋅h dollars, so the equation for his profit will be:

p=3000 - (13*h + 1000)p=3000−(13⋅h+1000)
p= 2000 - 13*hp=2000−13⋅h
