Kyle sells bags of popcorn at school events. The function P = 1.25b – 18 represents Kyle’s profit, where P stands for profit and b stands for the number of bags of popcorn sold. His brother Nathan sells bottles of fruit juice and has kept track of his daily sales and profit in the table. If Nathan’s profit is modeled linearly, which statement can be predicted from the two models?

• Kyle will have a higher profit than Nathan if they each sell 50 items.

• Kyle will have a higher profit than Nathan if they each sell 40 items.

• Kyle will have a higher profit than Nathan if they each sell 30 items.

• Kyle will have a higher profit than Nathan if they each sell 20 items.
