Paper 2Easy6 marks

A theatre records the total revenue from three group ticket sales. Let aa ss and cc be the prices, in dollars, of one adult, student and child ticket, respectively. The records are shown in Figure 1.

Order 12 adult tickets + 1 student ticket + 1 child ticket → total $55Order 21 adult ticket + 3 student tickets + 2 child tickets → total $68Order 33 adult tickets + 2 student tickets + 1 child ticket → total $85

For a later performance, the regular adult ticket price is pp dollars. If the discount is dd dollars, the estimated number of discounted adult tickets sold is 4d+124d+12 The revenue from these tickets is modelled by

R=(p−d)(4d+12),R=(p-d)(4d+12),

where 0<d<p0<d<p
