    R = revenue r = (12.50 + 0.5x) (1800 - 60x) r = - 30x2 + 150x + 22500r = - 30 (x2 - 150x - 750) r = - 30 (x - 30) (x + 25) {-25, 30} The zeros are - 25 and 30. The maximum occurs at 2.5. Since the price increases by 50 cent increments, the maximum would happen at x = 2 or x = 3The tickets can be either $13.50 or $14.00.
