Answer:

<em><u>P (x)   = 80x - 2x^2 - 3</u></em>

Explanation:

The Profit function is the revenue minus the cost.

Revenue = Price x Quantity =  X.px = x(88-2x) = 88x - 2x^2

Therefore the profit function P (x):  

P (x)  =  88x - 2x^2 - (8x+3)

<em><u>P (x)   = 80x - 2x^2 - 3</u></em>

<em><u /></em>

To maximise profit we use the 1st order condition: dP(x)/dq = 0

Therefore,  80 - 4x = 0

4x = 80

x = 20

So 20 leashes maximises profit.

P(x) = 80(20) - 2(20)^2 - 3

<em><u> P = $803  </u></em>

<em><u /></em>

The price to charge would be:

<u><em>p (x) = 88 - 2(20) = $48</em></u>

<u><em>The best reason would be that the price is a bit expensive for a leash so most people would not buy it.</em></u>
