Answer:
The ticket price that maximizes revenue is $50.
The maximum monthly revenue is $250,000.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to write a function that describes the revenue of the airline.
We know one point of this function: when the price is $30, the amount of passengers is 7000.
We also know that for an increase of $1 in the ticket price, the amount of passengers will decrease by 100.
Then, we can write the revenue as the multiplication of price and passengers:
where x is the variation in the price of the ticket.
Then, if we derive R in function of x, and equal to 0, we will have the value of x that maximizes the revenue.
We know that the increment in price (from the $30 level) that maximizes the revenue is $20, so the price should be:
The maximum monthly revenue is:
Markup is the amount added to the cost price of goods to cover overhead and profit.
Sue’s Corner Market has a markup of 60% on bottled water.
Let us say original price was $x.
Now price after markup is $2.
So we can make an equation like:
original price + markup price = price after markup
x + 60% of x =2
dividing both sides by 1.6
x= 1.25
So original price was 1.25 dollars.
