Hello! I'm here yet again with another question *sigh*.
I'll write the background info here:
A chocolate factory will sell a new chocolate bar with a weight of 100g.
They will sell for $2.00 each and 300 000 will be sold each week. For every price rise of 10c, sales will drop by 5 100 bars per week.
Manufacturing cost is 50c/100g of chocolate, + 0.213 cents/cm^2 for the wrapping.
The shape of the chocolate bar is an equilateral triangular prism.
I've already found the revenue from the weekly sales of the chocolate bars:
Now I need to determine the number of chocolate bars to be manufactured per week which will maximise revenue, but I've only managed to find the manufacturing cost so far, which is:
0.5 + 0.213 * SA (surface area) [note: SA = 21.84cm^2]
= 0.713x * 21.84
Not sure what to do from here. Thanks in advance for any help!
