Step 1

Let the number of guest ordering salad is x and;

The number of guests ordering turkey plate is y, then according to the question we have:

Calculus homework question answer, Step 1, Image 1
Step 2

Also the revenue (R) from salad and turkey plate will be:

Revenue from salad $x(10-0.05x)
Revenue from Turkey plate
Sy(12-0.02y2)
Total Revenue R(x,y) S(10x+ 12y-0.05x2-0.02y
.(2)
Step 3

Plug the value of x from equation (1) into equation (2) as shown:

x 100- yFrom equation (1)
Ry) S(10(100-y)+12y - 0.05(100- y) -0.02y)
R(y) 500+12y-0.05y2-0.02y
Step 4

Next, to maximize this revenue function obtained, differentiate and set derivative equal to zero to get the critical points.

R(y) 500 12y-0.05y -0.02y
dR
12-0.ly-0.06y = 0
dy
y-15 or y13.33 (13)
