a gift shop sells 160 wind chimes per month at $150 each. the owners estimate that for each $15 increase in price, they will sell 5 fewer wind chimes per month. find the price per wind chime that will maximize revenue.

The price per wind chime that will maximize revenue = $ 315

Step-by-step explanation:

Given - A gift shop sells 160 wind chimes per month at $150 each. the owners estimate that for each $15 increase in price, they will sell 5 fewer wind chimes per month.

To find - Find the price per wind chime that will maximize revenue.

Proof -

Given that,

Total Wind chimes selling = 160

Price of each Wind chime = $150

Now,

Given that, for each $15 increase in price, they will sell 5 fewer wind chimes per month.

So,

Let the price = 150 + 15x

So,

Number of wind Chimes sold per month = 160 - 5x

So,

Total Revenue, R = (150 + 15x)(160 - 5x)

                             = 24000 - 750x + 2400x - 75x²

                             = 24000 + 1650x - 75x²

⇒R(x) = 24000 + 1650x - 75x²

Differentiate R with respect to x , we get

R'(x) = 1650 - 150x

Now,

For Maximize Revenue, Put R'(x) = 0

⇒1650 - 150x = 0

⇒150x = 1650

⇒x = 1650/150

⇒x = 11

∴ we get

Price per Wind chime = $ 150 + 15(11)

                                    = $ 150 + 165

                                    = $ 315

So,

The price per wind chime that will maximize revenue = $ 315

answer: integers are just whole numbers: positive, negative, and zero.

i = {-∞, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ∞}

let x = 1st integer

let y = 2nd integer

x = 3y + 17   {equation 1}

xy = -24         {equation 2}

substitute 3y+17 in place of x n equation 2

and solve for y.

(3y+17)y = -24

3y2 + 17y = -24

3y2 + 17y + 24 = 0

from quadratic equation:

y = [-17±√(172-4(3)(24))]/(2(3))

y = (-17 ±√1)/6

y = (-17+1)/6   or     y = (-17-1)/6

y = -16/6           or     y = -18/6

y = -2 2/3         or   y = -3

since we are dealing with

y = -3

x = 3y+17 = -9+17 = 8

the integers are -3, 8
