Q:

Two companies are raising money for an organization that supports patients with breast cancer. Algorithm Corp. purchased 10,000 t-shirts for $27,500. They plan to stamp a cool logo in the front and back of the t-shirt and sell them for $15 each. Pura Vida Social, LLC purchased 20,000 sports water bottles for $15,250. They plan to customize each bottle with a unique message and workout challenge and sell them for $10 each. Let x represent the number of items each company could sell, h(x) represent total potential profit raised by Algorithm Corp. and g(x) represent total potential profit raised by Pura Vida Social, LLC.
