A company’s profit in dollars is given by the function P ( x )

To calculate the company's profit when they sell 50 units, substitute $x = 50$ into the profit function $P(x) = 5x - 200$:

$P(x) = 5x - 200$

Substitute $x = 50$:

$P(50) = 5(50) - 200$

$P(50) = 250 - 200$

$P(50) = 50$

Thus, the company’s profit is 50 dollars, which is not listed in the given options.
