A store has an average of 5000 customers per week and sells chicken for $10 per chicken.
The owner knows that for each $2 increase, the number of customers decrease by 12
What function rule describes the increased price per chicken?
:
x = no. of 12 chicken decreases in chickens sold
and
x = no. of $2 increases in the cost of each chicken
:
f(x) = revenue from those chickens
:
f(x) = (5000 - 12x)(10 + 2x)
FOIL
f(x) = 50000 + 10000x - 120x - 24x^2
we can write this as
f(x) = -24x^2 + 9880x + 50000
