Student,

1. To calculate revenue, R(x) it is good to remember the relationship between the Profit, Revenue and Cost functions:
P(x) = R(x) - C(x)
That is, profit P(x) is what is left over after subtracting cost from revenue, which makes sense. This equation can be rewritten to solve for any one of the three, given the other two, in this case:
P(x) + C(x) = R(x)
(.3x+500) + (5x+240) = R(x)
5.3x+740= R(x)

2. The marginal revenue and marginal cost, ...
