Answer:

The price should be 25 dollars, with this price 50000 people will attend the game.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question we can build a table in which we compare the information taking into account the price of the ticket, the average number of people, the earnings for the sale of the tickets and the earnings of the sales in the concessions and with this determine the maximize revenue that corresponds to the best options for the university so as you can see in the attachment.

To calculate the average people we subtract 10000 per each decrease in $5.

To calculate the earnings per sales we have to multiply the cost of the ticket by the number of average people

To calculate the earnings per concessions we have to multiply the spends in the concessions by the average people

To calculate the total earnings we have to add the earnings per sales with the earnings per concessions.

As you can see, the total earnings for ticket price of $25 and $20 are the same ($150,000) if we increase or decrease the price of the tickets, the total earnings will decrease, then we have to choose the best option.

For maintaining the security and the infrastructure, it will be better to have less people, then the most convenient option will be that in which 50,000 people attend to the game, and for this, the price will be of $25.

Then, the price should be 25 dollars, with this price 50000 people will attend the game.

Benito spent $1616 to operate his car last year. Some of these expenses are listed below. Benito's only other expense was for ga

Verizon [17]

Subtract all the operating expenses from the amount he spent total and get what's left over is $491. That's what he spent on gas. Divide the number of miles he drove by the amount he spent on the gas to find out what the average cost of the gas was per mile. 491/7270 = .06753. But that is expressed in dollars and we need it in cents. Multiply that decimal by 100 to get 6.75 cents, choice A from above.

navik [9.2K]

Answer: 153 trays

hotdogs =153

Hamburger = 171

we assume that a whole number of each food is placed in each tray.

Mike will have to use 153 trays.
