The demand equation for a busy family-owned restaurant is p = 225/q^0.7, where q is the number of meals sold in one day at a price of p dollars per meal. The cost of preparing a meal amounts to $2.50 per meal. What is the largest profit the restaurant can make in a single day? How many meals must be served to obtain this profit? How much should they charge for each meal? If necessary, round to the nearest whole for q.
