A.
Revenue function: highlight_green%28R%28x%29+=+600000+%2B+40000x+-+2000x%5E2%29, with R being the MAXIMUM REVENUE resulting
from "x" number of $20 price reductions

B.
Value of "x" number of $20 price reductions that will MAXIMIZE REVENUE: highlight_green%2810%29, resulting in a
price of highlight_green%28%22%24%22400%29, reduced from $600 for each attendee.

C.
MAXIMUM REVENUE generated from ten (10) $20 price reductions, or from a reduced price of $400: highlight_green%28%22%24%22800000%29
