Maximizing revenue. Edwards University wants to determine what price to charge for tickets to football games. At a price of 518

per ticket, attendance averages 40,000 people per game. Every decrease of 53 to the ticket price adds 10,000 people to the average attendance. Every person at a game spends an average of 54.50 on concessions.

Answer:

Price per ticket to maximize revenue = $337.8

Total number of people at that price = 74000 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of people as a result of decrease of 53 to the ticket price. Therefore, the price of a single ticket is;

M(x) = 518 - 53x

Similarly, we can say number of visitors of the game is;

T(x) = 40000 + 10000x

We are told that every person at a game spends an average of 54.50 on concessions. Therefore,

Total revenue will be;

R(x) = (M(x) × T(x)) + 54.5(T(x))

R(x) = ((518 - 53x) × (40000 + 10000x)) + 54.5(40000 + 10000x)

R(x) = (20720000 - 2120000x + 5180000x - 530000x²) + 2180000 + 545000x

R(x) = 20720000 + 3060000x - 530000x² + 2180000 + 545000x

R(x) = -530000x² + 3605000x + 22900000

To find the value of x for which the price is maximum, let's find the derivative of R(x) and equate to zero

dR/dx = -1060000x + 3605000

At dR/dx = 0,we have;

-1060000x + 3605000 = 0

1060000x = 3605000

x = 3605000/1060000

x = $3.4

Therefore price per ticket for the revenue to be maximum is;

M(3.4) = 518 - 53(3.4) = $337.8

Total attendance at that price will be;

T(3.4) = 40000 + 10000(3.4)

T(3.4) = 40000 + 34000

T(3.4) = 74000

X = 0.19
Luda [366]

Step-by-step explanation:

.19 = 19/100

.864 = 86.4/100

.5348 = 53.48 /100

I multiplied the decimal by 100 to get what it was before which is the same as moving two decimal places to the right and divided by 100

if any confusion ask

photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

(1, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Current position (3,2)

Moving left of the x axis results in a decrease, so: 3 - 2 (As she is moving 2 units to the left)

Moving up results in a positive increase on the y axis, so: 2 + 1 (As she is moving one unit up)

Answer:

? Is 41 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

SOH CAH TOA

Hypotenuse is 60

Adjacent is 45

Hypotenuse and adjacent - Cos

(Cos inverse to find the angle)

Cos(?) = a/h

Cos(?) = 45/60

Cos-(45/60) =?

? = 41.40962211

Tap A fills a tank in 4hours while B fills the same tank in 3hours. Tap C empties this tank when full in 2hours. If the tank is
boyakko [2]

Answer:

<em>It will take 12 hours to fill the tank</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Proportions

Tap A fills a tank in 4 hours. It means each hour it fills 1/4 of the tank.

Tap B fills the tank in 3 hours. Each hour it fills 1/3 of the tank.

Tap C empties the tank when full in 2 hours. Each hour it empties 1/2 of the tank.

Each hour, the tank gets filled by:

\displaystyle \frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{3}-\frac{1}{2}=\displaystyle \frac{3}{12}+\frac{4}{12}-\frac{6}{12}=\frac{3+4-6}{12}=\frac{1}{12}

Since the tank fills 1/12 of its capacity in one hour, it follows that it will take 12 hours to fill the tank
