Question 1016042: The daily sales of a video game company can be modeled by the function x where s(p) is the amount of sales and p is the price per game. What is the maximum amount of sales the company can expect to make?

s(p)=-2p^2+80p+1250
The vertex is the highest point (-x^2) and the value of p=-b/2a, which is -80/-4 or 20.
When p=20, s(20)=-800+1600+1250=$2050.
