Algebra.Com's Answer #28275 by fractalier(6550)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Revenue = price per unit time units sold so that \n" ); document.write( "R = px \n" ); document.write( "Now if x = 200 - 10p, we can solve for p and get \n" ); document.write( "x - 200 = -10p \n" ); document.write( "p = (-1/10)x + 20 \n" ); document.write( "and then by multiplying that by x, we get to R... \n" ); document.write( "R = px = (-1/10)x^2 + 20x \n" ); document.write( "Choice E. \n" ); document.write( " |
