An athletic store sells about 200 pairs of basketball shoes per month when it charges $120 per pair. for each $2 increase in price, the store sells two fewer pairs of shoes. how much should the store charge to maximize monthly revenue? what is the maximum monthly revenue?

Let x = dollar increase in price
Let y = fewer number of pairs sold

Since 2 fewer shoes are sold for each 1 dollar (factor of 2)

y = 2x

Revenue = Number of shoes sold * Price charged per shoe

Number of shoes sold = 200 - y = 200 - 2x
Price charged per shoe = $60 + $x

Revenue = (200 - 2x)(60 + x) = -2x^2 + 200x - 120x + 12000
Revenue = -2x^2 + 80x + 12000

In a quadratic equation, Revenue is maximized when x = -b / 2a. In this case:

x - -80 / (2*-2) = $20

Price charged per show = $60 + $x = $60 + $20 = $80.

Maximum revenue = -2x^2 + 80x + 12000 (evaluated at x = $20)

Maximum revenue = -2(20^2) + 80*20 + 12000 = $12800
