Explanation & Answer

Thank you for the opportunity to help you with your question!

r = pq

dr/dt = pdq/dt + qdp/dt

p = 5, dp/dt = 10 cents/day = 0.1USD/day, q = 100, dq/dt = -2/day

Hence, dr/dt = 5*-2+100*0.1

= -10+10

=0

It means that revenue is not changing or we can say that rate of change of revenue is zero.

Please let me know if you need any clarification. I'm always happy to answer your questions.
