Using proportions, considering the amount she received from each person, it is found that Annie had 30 sweets originally.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

In this problem, we have that:

  • Initially, she had n sweets.
  • With the ones she got from Teddy, the amount became 1.5n.
  • With the amount from Rosie, the amount became 1.4 x 1.5 x n.

The final amount was of 63, hence:

1.4 x 1.5 x n = 63

n = 63/(1.4 x 1.5)

n = 30.

Annie had 30 sweets originally.

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

The maximum revenue is $900, obtained with 30 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Naturally, the answer should be a number equal or higher than 20, because up to 20 persons, each one pays the same. Lets define a revenue function for x greater than or equal to 20.

f(x) = x*(40-(x-20)) = -x²+60x

Note that f multiplies the number of persons by how much would they pay (here, assuming that there are more than 20).

f is quadratic with negative main coefficient and its maximum value will be reached at the vertex.

The value of the x coordinate of the vertex is -b/2a = -60/-2 = 30

for x = 30, f(x) = 30*(40-(30-20))=30*30=900

So the maximum revenue is $900.
