    Polynomial word problems
    I need help with this question! I am referencing my text book but I have no idea on where to start with this. I'm not looking for someone to answer the question, just to point me in some kind of direction!


    If the ticket agency charges ‘p’ dollars per ticket for a concert, it can sell maximum of (40000 – p) tickets. Find:

    a. A polynomial to represent the total revenue with a ticket price as p dollars.
    b. How many tickets will be sold for a price of $10 each.
    c. Total revenue if the price of each ticket is $10.


    Thank You!

    Revenue is the amount of money taken in.

    Revenue would be the price per ticket multiplied by the number sold.
