    Step-by-step explanation:

    The bus company charges $80 for each passenger up to 30. They charge $2 less per person over 30. This means for 31 passengers they charge $78, for 32 passengers they charge $76 etc. The total revenue for the bus company will be the price of each ticket times the number of passengers. This is shown below in the table.

    Passengers Revenue

    30 30*80 = 2400

    31 31*78 = 2418

    32 32*76 = 2432

    33 33*74 = 2442

    34 34*72 = 2448

    35 35*70 = 2450

    ...

    40 40*60 = 2400

    The max revenue the company receives is 35 passengers.
