Q. That's-A-Wrap, a food truck, sells its famous "tough stuffed" burrito. The owner has noticed that when he charges less per burrito, he sells more of them. The truck's weekly revenue in dollars can be modeled by the expression p(168−12p), where p is the price per burrito in dollars.What does the quantity 168−12p represent in the expression?Choices:(A)the number of burritos the food truck sells if it charges p dollars per burrito(B)the food truck's weekly revenue in dollars if it charges p dollars per burrito(C)the food truck's weekly revenue in dollars if it sells p burritos(D)the price per burrito in dollars if the food truck sells p burritos
Calculate Total Revenue: Total revenue is calculated by multiplying the price per item by the number of items sold. So, the expression p(168−12p) represents the total revenue, where p is the price per burrito.
Break Down Expression: The expression can be broken down into two parts: p is the price per burrito, and (168−12p) must represent the number of burritos sold, since it's the other factor in the revenue calculation.
Confirm Revenue Calculation: To confirm, if p increases, the expression (168−12p) decreases, which makes sense because if the price goes up, fewer burritos are sold. So, (168−12p) represents the number of burritos sold at price p.
