6. A ferry operator takes tourists to an island. The operator carries an average of 500 people per day for a round- trip fare of $20. The operator estimates that for $1 increase in fare, 20 fewer people will take the trip. What fare ( cost) will maximize the number of people taking the ferry? Write let and therefore statement.

The owner of a skating rink rents the rink for parties at $800 if 40 or fewer skaters attend, so that the cost per person is $20 if 40 attend. For each 5 skaters above 40, she reduces the price per skater by $0.50. (a) Construct a table that gives the revenue generated if 40, 50, and 60 skaters attend.
