Question 189515: 86).Selling shirts. If a vendor charges p dollars each for rugby shirts, then he expects to sell 2000 - 100p shirts at a tournament.
a) Find a polynomial R(p) that represents the total revenue when the shirts are p dollars each.
b) Find R(5), R(10), and R(20).
c) Use the bar graph to determine the price that will give the maximum total revenue.
Answer by feliz1965(151)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! You were given the function to be 2000 - 100p, where p represents the value in terms of money for each shirt.
Then the polynomial would be
R(p) = 2000 - 100p
To find R(5), R(10) and R(20), replace x with each value individually and simplify the function.
I will find R(5) and you can do the rest.
Let p = 5.
R(5) = 2000 - 100(5)
R(5) = 2000 - 500
R(5) = 1500
