i) the price that you should set per bread.
ii) the number of breads that should be sold to maximize profit.
iii) the maximum profit that you can get.

b) The area of rectangular garden is 1000m2. The owner wishes to enclosed the garden on on side by a brick wall costing RM30 per meter and on the other three sides by a metal fence costing RM10 per meter.
Show that the cost, C, of the material is
C=40x+\frac{20000}{x}
Find the dimension that will minimize the cost.
Hence find the minimum cost to enclosed the garden.
