Question 886633: A friend of mine who loves maths problems asked me to solve this but I must confess I am completely stuck! Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The problem:
When the admission price to a game is £0.50, 10,000 people attend. For every increase of £0.05 in the admission price, 200 fewer people attend. Find the admission price that yields the largest income. What is the largest income?
Many thanks in advance for your help.
