Answer:
I= -20p^2 + 840p
Step-by-step explanation:
When the ticket price is $2 there are 800 passengers daily, but every $0.1 increase in ticket price the number of passengers will be decreased by 2.
You can put information into these equations of:
passenger- = (800-2x)
ticket price= p = $2 + 0.1x
Income is calculated by multiplying the number of the passenger with the ticket price. The answer will be expressed in terms of the ticket price, so we need to remove x from the passenger equation.
p= $2 +0.1x
p-$2 = 0.1x
x= 10p- $20
If p= ticket price, the function for the number of passengers it will be:
passenger = (800-2x)
passenger = 800- 2(10p- $20)
passenger =800- 20p+40
passenger =840- 20p
The function of I will be:
I= passenger x ticket price
I= 840- 20p * p
I= -20p^2 + 840p
