Demand for pools. Tropical Pool sells an aboveground model for p dollars each. The monthly revenue from the sale of this model is given by
R = -0.08p^2 + 300p. Revenue is the product of the price p and the demand (quantity sold).
a) Factor out the price on the right-hand side of the formula.
R=p(-0.08p+300)
b) What is an expression for the monthly demand?
D(p)=-0.08p+300
c) What is the monthly demand for this pool when the price is $3000?
D(3000)=-0.08(3000)+300=60
d) Use the graph to estimate the price at which the revenue is maximized.
Maximum at p=$1875
Approximately how many pools will be sold at this price?
D(1875)=150 pools
e) What is the approximate maximum revenue?
Same answer as in "d".
cheers,
stan H.
