If exactly 180 people sign up for a charter flight, Leisure World Travel Agency charges $298/person. However, if more than 180 people sign up for the flight (assume this is the case), then each fare is reduced by $1 for each additional person. Determine how many passengers will result in a maximum revenue for the travel agency. What is the maximum revenue? Whatwould be the fare per passenger in this case?
Hint: Let x denote the number of passengers above 200. Show that the revenue function R is given by R(x)=(200+x)(300-x)

The max. revenue is $57,121.

This happens with 239 passengers.

The price of the ticket is $239 per person.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the variable "P" denote the number of passengers.

If P=180, then the ticket cost is $298/person. Then the price is reduced by $1 for each additional person.

In general, if P=(180+x), then the ticket cost becomes (298-x) per person.

The revenue can be defined as the ticket cost multplied by the number of passengers:

We can derive R and equal to zero to maximize the function.

The amount of passengers is:

The price of the tickets is

The revenue is:

i would say c is the best answer, hope it's right!

good luck! =)

cutie~

after simplifying it i got: -36.25 as my answer. hope that !
