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.

What is 710 dollars plus tax please help 100 points!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
matrenka [14]
This is 5 points dude, not 100. (jk I'll help!)

To find tax, you would multiply your total amount by your tax percentage. You didn't provide us with what the tax percentage was, so I'll give you what you should do, which is:

D=710+(710*t)

Where <span>t is your tax percentage and D is your final amount in dollars.

If you can provide us with the tax percentage, I would be happy to help you do that as well.
