Let x = cost of mango
y = c of apples 
<span>8x+3y=18.
3x+5y=14.5 </span>

<span> </span>
<span>24x+9y=54
24x+40y=116
multiplying them with 3 and 8 resectively. </span>
<span>subtract one from the other we get </span>
<span>40y-9y=116-54 </span>
<span>31y=62 </span>
<span>y=2.
cost of apple=2$  per apple
</span><span>8x+3y=18,
 8x+3(2)=18.
8x=12. x=12/8=1.5 </span>

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.
