Question 1171998: You will solve real-world problems related to physics and business by using quadratic equations involving maximum values, minimum values, and x-intercepts
3. You are in business and have a product that sells for $10 that 1000 people buy each month. You want to make a profit and wonder whether you should raise the price in increments of a dollar. For each dollar you raise the price, you lose 100 customers. How many dollars can you go up to maximize your profit, or should you go up at all?

First, your question should be about the REVENUE, not about the profit
(for which the problem does not provide any data)



Second, the TWIN problem was solved under this link

Consider it as your TEMPLATE and solve the given problem in the SAME WAY.



Third, I noticed and I am impressed on how fast you adopted and adsorbed this technical term "increment" from my solution, referred above.
