If a sales person charges p dollars each for concert tickets, then he expects to sell 2000 - 100p tickets for an event.

a) Find a polynomial R(p) that represents the total revenue
when the tickets are p dollars each. b) Find R(5), R(10), and R(20).

Multiply

Subtract

Multiply

So if the price is $5, then the revenue will be $7,500

You follow the same steps in finding R(10) and R(20) (which I'll let you do)
