Answer:

Option (b) is correct.

The profit  from sales if the price of the T-shirts were $15 a pieces is $28.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The function [tex]p(x)=-2(x-9)^2+100[/tex] is used to determine the profit on T-shirts sold for x dollars.

We have to find the profit from sales if the price of the T-shirts were $15 a pieces.

Consider the given profit function  [tex]p(x)=-2(x-9)^2+100[/tex]

For the profit, if the price of a t-shirt is $ 15

Put x = 15, we have,

[tex]p(15)=-2(15-9)^2+100[/tex]

Simplify, we have,

[tex]p(15)=-2(6)^2+100=-2\cdot 36+100[/tex]

Also,  [tex]p(15)=-72+100=28[/tex]

Thus, we get,  The profit  from sales if the price of the T-shirts were $15 a pieces is $28.
