A coffee shop currently sells 420 lattes a day at $2.50 each. They recently tried raising the by price by $0.25 a latte, and found that they sold 40 less lattes a day.
a) Assume that the number of lattes they sell in a day, `N` , is linearly related to the sale price, `p` (in dollars). Find an equation for `N` as a function of `p` .
`N(p)` =
b) Revenue (the amount of money the store brings in before costs) can be found by multiplying the cost per cup times the number of cups sold. Again using `p` as the sales price, use your equation from above to write an equation for the revenue, `R` as a function of `p` .
`R(p)` =
c) The store wants to maximize their revenue (make as much money as possible). Find the value of `p` that will maximize the revenue (round to the nearest cent).
p =
which will give a maximum revenue of $
