Avg difficulty 2.5

Solve. Round answers to the nearest tenth.

A retailer who sells fashion boots estimates that by selling them for x dollars each, he will be able to sell 70 − x boots a week. Use the quadratic function R(x) = −x2 +70x to find the revenue received when the average selling price of a pair of fashion boots is x. Find the selling price that will give him the maximum revenue, and then find the amount of the maximum revenue per day.
