6) You should read and understand the problem statement.

5) You should reproduce the given results in an effort to understand the revenue mechanism.

50 * 720 = 36,000
(50 - 1) * (720 + 20) = 36,260

4) You should define variables that represent the situation, keeping in mind that some definitions may be given in the problem statement.

X = # of $20 increases

3) You should Practice a little:

X = 0
50 * (720+(X*20)) = 50*(720+0) = 36,000
X = 1
(50 - 1) * (720 + (X*20)) = (50 - 1) * (720 + 20)= 36,260

2) You should keep your eyes open for interesting information.

One unit becomes vacant for every $20 increase. Hmmm... Doesn't that mean

X = # of Vacant Units?! Isn't that unusual?
X = # of $20 increases Wow! They are the same thing!

1) You should, most of all, do SOMETHING. If you wait to see the entire solution before you do ANYTHING, you may end up doing nothing at all.
