The Chess Club at Extinct Mammoth University (EMU, guess what their mascot is!!!) is planning its annual fund-raising “Stuffathon". The club will charge students $0.80 per serving of pasta. The only expenses the club will incur are the cost of the pasta, estimated at $0.25 per serving, and the $500.00 cost of renting the facility for the evening. The Chess Club has purchased enough pasta for 10,000 servings. • Write down the associated cost, revenue, and profit functions. • How many servings of pasta must the society sell in order to break even? • Find the marginal revenue function and interpret the marginal revenue at 8,000 servings.
