revenue = price * quantity
profit = revenue - cost
so, the profit is
Q(300-2.5Q) - (1000 + 2.5Q^2)
= 300Q - 2.5Q^2 - 1000 - 2.5Q^2
= -5Q^2 + 300Q - 1000
= -5(Q^2 - 60Q + 200)
max profit at Q=30, P(30)=225
profit = revenue - cost
so, the profit is
Q(300-2.5Q) - (1000 + 2.5Q^2)
= 300Q - 2.5Q^2 - 1000 - 2.5Q^2
= -5Q^2 + 300Q - 1000
= -5(Q^2 - 60Q + 200)
max profit at Q=30, P(30)=225
