Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The second crop size results in maximum revenue. The price per bushel of the second crop size is 3.54 dollars.

Step-by-step explanation: FIRST: Ensure all figures for price are in the same unit (same for quantity)

Hence, 10X cents = 0.1X dollars

SECOND:

Derive the equations for the new price and new quantity

P2 = P1 + 0.1X

Q2 = Q1 - (X% of Q1)

THIRD:

Input the values of Q1 and P1 into the equations

FOURTH:

To get X, equate P2 to Q2

P2 = Q2

From here, X = 11.4286

FIFTH:

Use this value of X to find the values of Q2 and P2 which will be 3.543 billion bushels and 3.54286 dollars respectively.

SIXTH:

The new revenue will now be 12.55 billion dollars which is obviously higher than the initial revenue of 9.6 billion dollars. Remember that R=P.Q

Revenue= Price x Quantity

You might think the answer is 32/100.

Well, kind of! We need to simplify!
