A candlemaker prices one set of scented candles at $10 and sells an average of 200 sets each week. He finds that when he reduces the price

by $1, he then sells 50 more candle sets each week. A function can be used to model the relationship between the candlemaker's weekly

revenue, R (x) after xone-dollar decreases in price.

Answer: - 50 300 2000 Y

Edsel · Answer 2

R (x) = (10 - x) (200 + 50x)

Step-by-step explanation:

One set of scented candles costs $10 and the average sale is of 200 sets each week.

If the price of each set is reduced by 1 $, then the sale per week increases by 50 candle sets.

Therefore, if x$ is reduced from the original price of each set of candles then the weekly sale increases by 50x sets of candles.

If the candle maker's weekly revenue is R (x), then it can be written as

R (x) = (10 - x) (200 + 50x) where x is the number of dollars reduction in price of each candle set. (Answer)
