You can put this solution on YOUR website!
T%28x%29=+-0.4x%5E2%2B20x%2B122.1
Just substitute for x with the number of days.
I'll do one you do the rest.
For x=10,
T%2810%29=+-0.4%2810%29%5E2%2B20%2810%29%2B122.1
T%2810%29=+-0.4%28100%29%2B200%2B122.1
T%2810%29=+-40%2B222.1
T%2810%29=182.1
Since you can't sell 0.1 of a ticket, on the 10th day, 182 tickets were sold.
Follow the same process for x=20, x=40, and x=50.
