- Until recently, hamburgers at the city sports arena cost $2.50 each. The food concessionaire sold an average of 1,375 hamburgers on game night. When the price was raised to $3.00, hamburger sales dropped off to an average of 1,250 per night. The concessionaire's fixed costs were $1,133.60 per night and the variable cost was $2.60 per hamburger. Answer the following questions (A) through (F).
