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(16812p)p(168 - 12p), where pp is the price per burrito in dollars.\newlineWhat does the quantity 16812p168 - 12p represent in the expression?\newlineChoices:\newline(A)the number of burritos the food truck sells if it charges pp dollars per burrito\newline(B)the food truck's weekly revenue in dollars if it charges pp dollars per burrito\newline(C)the food truck's weekly revenue in dollars if it sells pp burritos\newline(D)the price per burrito in dollars if the food truck sells pp burritos
  1. Calculate Total Revenue: Total revenue is calculated by multiplying the price per item by the number of items sold. So, the expression p(16812p)p(168 - 12p) represents the total revenue, where pp is the price per burrito.
  2. Break Down Expression: The expression can be broken down into two parts: pp is the price per burrito, and (16812p)(168 - 12p) must represent the number of burritos sold, since it's the other factor in the revenue calculation.
  3. Confirm Revenue Calculation: To confirm, if pp increases, the expression (16812p)(168 - 12p) decreases, which makes sense because if the price goes up, fewer burritos are sold. So, (16812p)(168 - 12p) represents the number of burritos sold at price pp.
