Question

the number of bus riders form the suburbs to downtown per day is represented by 1200(1.5-x), where x is the fare in dollars. what fare will maximize the total revenue?

Answer 1

when x is 0, but that's the math. Logically I am not sure. If x = 0 than the equation becomes 1200(1.5) instead of if x = constant than the answer will become smaller.

Answer 2

r(x)= 1200(1.50-x)
1800-1200x=0
-1200x/-1200=-1800/-1200
x=1.5
is that right?
