    If the museum engages in price discrimination and decides to take both "contracts" (adults and students), the profit the museum will earn is $800.

    And it goes like this:

    Adults: 100 x $12 = 1.200

    Students: 200 x $8 = 1.600

    Income: 1.200 + 1.600 = 2.800 total incomes if both contracts happens in the same day.

    Profit: 2.800 (Income) - 2.000 (costs) = 800 profit
