An amusement park prices tickets at [tex]$\$55$[/tex] and sells an average of 500 tickets daily. The management finds, over multiple increases in ticket pricing, that a [tex]$\[tex]$2$[/tex][/tex] increase in the price of a ticket leads to an average of 20 fewer tickets being sold in a day.

Management uses the combined function [tex]$P$[/tex] to model the daily earnings of the amusement park, where [tex]$x$[/tex] is the number of [tex][tex]$\$[/tex]2$[/tex] increases in the price of a ticket.

[tex]P(x) = -40x^2 - 100x + 27,500[/tex]
