A study on how circus ticket pricing influences ticket sales shows that there is an average increase of 4 people for every $3 de

crease on the price of the ticket. A circus owner sells an average of 340 tickets when the price of a ticket is $75. If x represents the number of times the price decreases by $3, which function describes the revenue earned by the circus owner in terms of x?

Let the price of a ticket be originally T dollars, and the number of clients be N.

let the price decrease by x  3-dollars.

"there is an average increase of 4 people for every $3 decrease on the price of the ticket."

means:

if the price is decreased by 1-3$:
 then N become N+4, and T becomes T-3    


if the price is decreased by 2-3$:
 then N become N+4+4=N+2*4, and T becomes T-3-3=T-2*3    

 So if the price is decrease by x-3 dollars:

N  becomes N+4x, and T becomes T-3x


"A circus owner sells an average of 340 tickets when the price of a ticket is $75."

In this case N=340, and T=75$

If the owner does not change the price ticket, x=0, the revenue is 340*75,

If the owner decreases the price of the tickets by x-3$, then the revenue will be 
(N+4x)(T-3x)=(340+4x)(75-3x) dollars,

If R is the function of the revenue depending on x, then 

R(x)=(340+4x)(75-3x) dollars

 
Answer: R(x)=(340+4x)(75-3x) dollars

On planet Zorg, a 30 kg barbell can be lifted by only exerting a force of 180N. What is the acceleration of gravity on Planet Zo
WITCHER [35]
To calculate g, we use the formula F= mg. F is given as 180N, and m is given as 30 kg, therefore:
180N = (30kg)(g)
g = 6 m.s-1.
The motion of this object would be decreased on Earth as more force would be required to lift it. If we assume g is 9.8 m.s-1 on Earth, we can calculate the force required.
F = mg
   = (30kg)(9.8 m.s-1)
   = 294 N

Barnabus caught 84 fish in 4 days. Each day he caught 10 more than on the day before. How many fish did he catch each of the 4 d
balandron [24]
X + x + 10 + x + 20 + x + 30 = 84.
4x + 60 = 84.
84 − 60 = 24
4x =  24.
24 / 4 = 6 = x.

Answer:
Day One:  6 fish
Day Two:  16 fish
Day Three:  26 fish
Day Four:  36 fish
