Problem:
1. The owner of a luxury motor lot that sails among the 4000 greek islands charges $600 per person, per day if exactly 20 people sign up for the cruise. However, if more than 20 people sign up for the cruise (up to the maximum capacity of 90) the fare for all passengers is reduced by $4.00 per person for each additional passenger. Assume that at least 20 sign up for the cruise, and lex x denote the # of passengers above 20.
a. Find a function R, giving the revenue per day realized from the charter.
b. What is the revenue per day if 60 people sign up?
c. What is the revenue per day if 80 people sign up?
To be clear, this is a survey of calculus class. I'm not asking you to do the problem for me, just asking for help on how to set up the function. Once I have the function, I believe I will be able to solve for parts b and c.
Thanks all,
W.
