Flash Flash Revolution - View Single Post - [High School- Algebra 2] Using Quadratics to Max. Profit

I'm having a lot of problems just writing the equation, let alone finding the answer.

A community theater sells about 150 tickets to a play each week when it charges $20 per ticket. For each $1 decrease in price, about 10 more tickets are sold. The theater has a fixed expense of $1500 a week.

Write the quadratic function that represent theater's weekly profit.

How much the theater should charge to max weekly profit.
