The demand $x$ and the price $p$ (in dollars) for a certain product are related by $$x=f(p)=3,000-30 p \quad 0 \leq p \leq 100$$ Express the revenue as a function of $x$.

Demand function, $p=D(x),$ expresses price, in dollars, as a function of the number of items produced and sold. Find the marginal revenue. $$p=400-x$$
