Question

A commuter railway has 800 passengers a day and charges each one 2 dollars. ?

Answer 1

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
