Explanation / Answer

a)

x = change

hence

price=18+x

customer = 70000 - 1500x

Find revenue as

R(x) = (18+x)(70000-1500x)

R(x) = -1500x² +43000x +1260000

-----

b)

R'(x) = -3000x +43000

Set to 0,

-3000x +43000 =0

3000x = 43000

x = 43000/3000

Find price as

price=18+43000/3000

=$ 32.33
