A health club currently charges its 1800 clients monthly membership dues of $44. The board of directors decides to increase the monthly membership dues. Market research shows that each $1 increase in dues will result in the loss of 7 clients. How much should the club charge each month to optimize the revenue from monthly dues? Round to the nearest cent.
------
Revenue = Unit price*Number of clients
----
R(x) = (44+x)(1800-7x)
R(x) = -7x^2 + 1492x + 79200
1-----
Max occurs when x = -b/(2a) = -1492/(-14) = 106.57
----
Ans: They should charge 44+106.57 = $150.57
