"During the summer months Terry makes and sells necklaces on the beach. Last summer he sold necklaces for $10 each. His sales averaged 20 per day. Considering a price increase, he took a small survey and found that for every dollar increase he would lose two sales per day. If the material for each necklace costs $6, what should the selling price be to maximize profit."
Step one
find the equation and let one value equal "x"
20 = necklaces
2 = lost from price increase
x = number of the one dollar increase
10 = how much the necklaces are
6 = money for the material
THUS
(20-2x)(10-6+x)
or
(20-2x)(4+x)
Step one
find the equation and let one value equal "x"
20 = necklaces
2 = lost from price increase
x = number of the one dollar increase
10 = how much the necklaces are
6 = money for the material
THUS
(20-2x)(10-6+x)
or
(20-2x)(4+x)
Step 2
First

First
Outside
Inside
Last

Thus getting
80+20x-8x-2x²
Then change it around
-2x²+20x-8x+80
Then combine the alike terms
-2x²+12x+80
That's out equation
Step 3
Solve for X

Step 4
Place X in the equation
-2(3)²+12(3)+80
3²= 9
9 . 2- = -18
12 . 3 = 36
-18+36+80=98
Step 5
Add the sentence
Terry made a maximum profit of $98
yeah. so I hope this helps guys sorry I just came home from watching volleyball. Oh yes don't forget to vote for the people in September. I have alot of grammar mistakes. I'm going to say "no don't read it" tomorrow
