Question

Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu. A candlemaker prices one set of scented candles at $10 and sells an average of 200 sets each week. He finds that when he reduces the price by $1, he then sells 50 more candle sets each week. A function can be used to model the relationship between the candlemaker's weekly revenue, R(x), after x one-dollar decreases in price.

Answer 1

Answer:

R(x) = (10 - x)(200 + 50x)

Step-by-step explanation:

A candlemaker prices one set of scented candles at $10 and sells an average of 200 sets each week.

Now, it is found that for reducing the price of the set of candles by 1$ the sell of the sets increases by 50 each week.

So, for reducing the price by $x the sell will increase by 50x numbers per week.

Therefore, the candlemaker's weekly revenue after reducing the price by $x will be given by R(x) = (10 - x)(200 + 50x) (Answer)
