In planning a restaurant, it is estimated that a profit of $8 per seat will be made if the number of seats is no more than 50 inclusive. On the other hand, the profit on each seat will decrease 10 cents for each seat above 50. a) Find the number of seats that will produce the maximum profit.
b) What is the maximum profit?

a. 65  seats

b. $422.50

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following two functions:

8 * x, {0 <= x <= 50}

x * (8 - 0.1 * (x - 50)), {x> 50}, solving we have:

-0.1 * x ^ 2 + 13 * x, {x> 50}

Now we derive both functions and we are left with:

8, {0 <= x <= 50}

-0.2 * x + 13 {x> 50}

we cannot equal to 0 the first function that is equal to 0, because it would be inconsistent, therefore we equal the second function to 0:

-0.2 * x + 13 = 0

0.2 * x = - 13

x = -13 / -0.2

x = 65

Now, test for increasing and decreasing on the intervals (0.65) and (65, infinity)

p '(60) = -0.2 * (60) + 13 = 1

since this value is positive the profit is increasing on (0.65)

p '(70) = -0.2 * (70) + 13 = -1

becuase this value is negative the profit is decreasing on (65, infinity)

Therefore 65 seats are needed to maximize profit

The maximum value would be:

P (65) = 0.1 * (65 ^ 2) + 13 * 65 = 422.5

That is, the maximum value is $ 422.50

from the figure we get,

the x axis shows   the months and,

the y-axis shows the number of satisfied customer.

each line or each cell in upward direction (y-axis) shows 500.

the appropriate scale for the y - axis is: -

a = 2000 customers

b = 4000 customers

c = 6000 customers

d = 8000 customers

e = 10000 customers

f = 12000 customers

g = 14000 customers

these sign is used to tell weather the number is greater or less than the number   <   or >     but this sign means its equal =
