- Profit The demand equation for a microwave oven is given by p=1400.0001x, where p is the unit price (in dollars) of the microwave oven and x is the number of units sold. The cost equation for the microwave oven is C=80x+150,000, where C is the total cost (in dollars) and x is the number of units produced. The total profit P obtained by producing and selling x units is modeled by P=xpC. (a) Find the profit function P in terms of x. (b) Find the profit when 250,000 units are sold. (c) Find the unit price when 250,000 units are sold. (d) Find (if possible) the unit price that will yield a profit of 10 million dollars. If not possible, explain why.arrow_forwardSelling concert tickets Tickets for a concert are cheaper when purchased in quantity. The first 100 tickets are priced at 10 each, but each additional block of 100 tickets purchased decreases the cost of each ticket by 50. How many blocks of tickets should be sold to maximize the revenue?arrow_forward
