Hi Ms Liefland!
ReplyDeleteCould you please post/explain today's classwork online too?
(the ticket sales problem)
Thank you!!
nevermind... ^^^
ReplyDeletei figured it out
Great! Here's the problem anyway - (it won't be on a test or a quiz, just a challenge problem for class). The "x" that you choose can be either the change in price from 50, or you can set x to be the ticket price itself. The (quantity) part of the equation will depend on what you define x as.
ReplyDeleteYou are in charge of ticket sales for a band's show. You want to figure out the best price to sell the tickets for, in order to maximize your revenue. If you set a lower price, more people will come, but will you make more money? If you set the price higher, you will get more money, but less people will come. Because of this trade-off, you are uncertain what the ideal price will be.
You do know that if you set the price at $50 dollars/ticket, 40 tickets will be purchased. You also know that for every dollar the ticket price goes up, two less tickets will be purchased. Similarly, if the price goes down one dollar, two more tickets will be purchased.
Can you find out what the ideal ticket price is?
