Question 435322: Researach for a given orchard has shown that, if 100 pear trees are planted, then the annual revenue is $90 per tree. If more trees are planted they have less room to grow and generate fewer pears per tree. As a result, the annual revenue per tree is reduced by $.70 for each additional tree planted. No matter how many trees are planted, the cost of maintaining each tree is $7.40 per year. How many pear trees should be planted to maximize the profit from the orchard tree for one year?
