The total revenue that is gained from the sales of the cakes is determined by multiplying the number of cakes by the price. If we let x be the number of $1 that should be deducted from the price and y be the total revenue,
                               y = (25 - x)(100 + 5x)
Simplifying, 
                              y = 2500 + 25x - 5x²
We get the value of x that will give us the maximum revenue by differentiating the equation and equating the differential to zero.
                             dy/dx = 0 = 25 - 10x
The value of x is 2.5. 
 The price of the cake should be 25 - 2.5 = 22.5. 
Thus, the price of the cake that will give the maximum potential revenue is $22.5.

Answer: Ball's kinetic energy became potential energy

Step-by-step explanation:

There are no options attached but this should be along the lines of what happened.

Kinetic energy refers to energy that an object has as a result of it moving whilst potential energy is the opposite and is energy that an object stores within itself due to several factors whilst it is not in motion.

The ball was initially in motion which means that it had kinetic energy but as the ball was slowing down, this energy was gradually converted to potential energy until the balls came to a standstill.
