An espresso stand finds that its weekly profit is a function of the price, x, it charges per cup. If x is in dollars, the weekly profit is P(x) = -3600x^2 + 9720x - 4962 dollars. (a) What is the maximum weekly profit? (Round to the nearest cent and do not include any commas in your answer.) (b) What price per cup produces that maximum profit? (Round to the nearest cent.)

An espresso stand finds that its weekly profit is a function of the price, x, it charges per cup. If x is in dollars, the weekly profit is P(x) = -3400x^2 + 11220x - 7678.5 dollars. (a) The espresso stand's current price is $1.89 for each cup of espresso. This means their current weekly profit is $ (round to the nearest cent). (b) The maximum possible weekly profit is $ (round to the nearest cent and do not include any commas in your answer). (c) What is the price per cup that will produce the maximum profit? The espresso stand should reduce their price by cents and choose a price of $ for each cup in order to maximize profit.

A university student center sells 1,600 cups of coffee per day at a price of $\$ 2.40 .$ (A) A market survey shows that for every $\$ 0.05$ reduction in price, 50 more cups of coffee will be sold. How much should the student center charge for a cup of coffee in order to maximize revenue? (B) A different market survey shows that for every $\$ 0.10$ reduction in the original $\$ 2.40$ price, 60 more cups of coffee will be sold. Now how much should the student center charge for a cup of coffee in order to maximize revenue?
