A baseball team plays in a stadium that holds 58000 spectators. With the ticket price at $11 the average attendance has been 22000. When the price dropped to $9, the average attendance rose to 29000. Assume that attendance is linearly related to ticket price. What ticket price would maximize revenue? S
