so first, in order to understand how perfect competition Ah, calculates soldier of anyone understand what total revenue is. Total revenue is the sum of all the prices you pay. So if you paid, um, or the prices you received the money you received So suppose you, ah, have, like, five different jobs. Okay, your revenue would be the salary, the price from the first job, plus the price from the second job, plus the price from the third job, plus the price from the fourth job, plus the price from the fifth job, and that will lead to your total revenue. Now, in a perfectly competitive firm, though, they take the market price, so the price of one would equal the price of two would equal the price of three, and it would equal the all the prices going forward. So there is no change between the prices. So this is simply multiplication. All we have to do to calculate total revenue is take the price that we're given and multiply it Bye. The quantity that we have to sell
