Answer:

  $1571

Step-by-step explanation:

If we assume that y is profit in dollars, the maximum value of y is revealed by a graph to be ...

  ymax = $1571

The maximum profit the company can make is $1571 at a selling price of $45 each.

_____

The function can be written in vertex form as ...

  y = -(x^2 -90x) -454

  y = -(x^2 -90x +45^2) -454 +45^2

  y = -(x -45)^2 +1571

Because the leading coefficient is negative, we know this vertex represents a maximum. (x, y) = (45, 1571) at the vertex. Maximum profit is $1571.
