Betty sets up a lemonade stand and charges $1 per glass. It cost her $50 to set up the stand. Which function gives the profit, p, she makes by selling g glasses of lemonade?
 The number of glasses of lemonade, g, that Betty needs to sell to make a profit, p, if the setup cost her $50 is given by the function p(g) = 
.

The function representing Betty's profit, $ p(g) $, based on the number of glasses of lemonade, $ g $, is given by:

\[
p(g) = g - 50
\]

This is because for each glass, Betty earns $1, but she needs to recover the initial setup cost of $50.

1. What would the profit be if Betty sold 60 glasses of lemonade?
2. At how many glasses does Betty break even?
3. How would the profit function change if she charged $2 per glass?
4. What would the profit function be if the setup cost increased to $75?
5. How much loss would Betty incur if she only sold 30 glasses?

**Tip:** Always subtract initial costs when calculating profit functions!
