Answer:

Explanation:

Solution:

A. Besides they intercept (0,100), the other data point is (5,600) since 600 pizzas are sold when there is a $5 discount. So, the slope of the line is

m = (600-100)÷(5-0)= 10

A(x) = 10x+ 100

B.

R = A(x)(Price) = (10x+ 100)(18-x)

R = 10(18-x) + (10x+ 100)(-1)

R = 80 -20x

If we set

R= 0 we obtain x = 80÷20= 4. Since R00 =-20 <0,

x gives the maximum of the function. So,The weekly revenue is maximized when x= $4

C.
