Rosalie is organizing a circus performance to raise money for a charity. She is trying to decide how much to charge for tickets. From past experience, she knows that the number of people who will attend is a linear function of the price per ticket. If she charges 5 dollars, 1175 people will attend. If she charges 7 dollars, 935 people will attend. How much should she charge per ticket to make the most money

she should charge $7.395 per ticket in order to make the most money.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

If Rosalie charges $5   then 1175 people will attend the circus performance

If Rosalie charges $7   then 935 people will attend the circus performance

Let x be the cost and y to be the number of people that will attend the performance . Then, we will have two points which are;

(5, 1175) and (7, 935)

The slope(m) of this points =

=

Slope (m) =

Slope (m) = -120

However; we can now have the linear equation:

The linear function is : y = -120x + 1775

Now; the total amount of money she can now earn is:

f(x) = xy

f(x) = x(-120x + 1775)

f(x) = -120x² + 1775x

The above expression is a quadratic equation; Using the quadratic formula; we have:

where; a = -120 ; b = +1775 and c = 0

=     0        OR         14.79

Since; we are considering the value greater than zero

x = 14.79

maximum value of x = 14.79/2 = 7.395

Thus ; she should charge $7.395 per ticket in order to make the most money.

the least value out of the data shown is 5, maybe if you post a picture with it i could a little more.
