F(n) = (20-n)(100+10n) F(n) = 2000+100n-10n^2 = -10(n^2-10n-200) = -10[(n-5)^2-225] (concave down.. when n=5 maximun value) F(5) = -10*-225 = 2250 _________________ The only thing that matters is what you believe.

A. 2000

C. 2250
D. 2270
E. 2300

@ $20 Revenue =2000 @$19 Revenue =2090 (19*110)
@ $18 Revenue =2160 (18*120) @$17 Revenue =2210 (17*130)
@ $16 Revenue =2240 (16*140) @$15 Revenue =2250 (15*150)

Hence C
