Gertrude sells cabbages at the farmers market. It costs $50 for her to enter the market and set up her booth, and she makes $5 per cabbage that she sells. She can model her profits with the function p(c) = 5c -50 where c is the number of cabbages sold. If she brings 100 cabbages to the farmers market, which correctly expresses the domain and range for this function?

• Domain: 0 ≤ c ≤ 50 Range: 0 ≤ p(c) ≤ 500

• Domain: 0 ≤ c ≤ 100

  Range: 0 ≤ p(c) ≤ 500

• Domain: 0 ≤ c ≤ 50 Range: -50 ≤ p(c) ≤ 450

• Domain: 0 ≤ c ≤ 100

  Range: -50 ≤ p(c) ≤ 450
