Q1
A student helps manage a school store that sells snacks and spirit wear. The store tracks monthly revenue $R$ from sales and monthly expenses $E$ such as restocking items, paying for delivery, and purchasing new display materials. The store defines monthly profit as $P = R - E$. When the store orders more hoodies before winter, expenses $E$ rise immediately, but revenue $R$ may rise later if many students buy them. If the store raises prices too much, revenue might fall because fewer students purchase items. The student uses the variables to understand why profit changes from month to month.
In the given context, how are the variables $R$ and $P$ related?
