C=$15400(1+35100)=$8100C=\$15\cdot400(1+{35\over 100})=\$8100

R=$40250+$40(10020100)100+$15(400250100)=R=\$40\cdot250+\$40({100-20\over 100})\cdot 100+\$15\cdot(400-250-100)==$13950=\$13950

P=RC=$13950$8100=$5850P=R-C=\$13950-\$8100=\$5850

The total operating profit on the sale of all the hats is $5850.\$5850.
