Answer:

  $880

Step-by-step explanation:

If r is the rent charged, then the number of $40 increments of increase will be ...

  (r -800)/40

and the number of occupied apartments will be ...

  120 -5(r -800)/40

The gross income (g) will be the number of apartments times the rent charged, or ...

  g = r×(120 -5(r -800)/40) = (1/8)r(1760 -r)

The equation describes a parabola with zeros at r=0 and r=1760. The vertex will be on the line of symmetry, halfway between those zeros. The maximum gross income will be had when the rent is 1760/2 = 880.

$880 should be charged for rent to maximize gross income.

cupoosta [38]
Hi there! Bananas are sold at $0.80 per pound and grapes are sold at $2.50 per pound. To find out how much Mrs. Anderson spent overall, we need to find out how much she spent with each item and then add them up together. She bought 4.3 pounds of bananas and 2.1 pounds of grapes. Let's multiply each of them by the unit prices there are. 4.3 * 0.8 is 3.44 and 2.1 * 2.5 is 5.25. 3.44 + 5.25 is 8.69. There. Mrs. Anderson spent a total of $8.69.
