6 phones

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the profit, the total revenue is subtracted by total cost.

We will calculate the company's profit as per given chart.

Quantity of phones     Total revenue-total cost             Profit/loss

      0                                              0 - 90                              -90  (loss)

      1                                           200 - 170                             30

      2                                          360 - 200                           160

      3                                          480 - 290                           190

      4                                          600 - 340                           260

      5                                          700 - 400                           300

      6                                          810 - 500                            310

      7                                          910 - 620                            290

The profit for selling 6 phone units is 310 which is highest.

Therefore ProPhone  will need to sell six phones to maximize profit.
