R (x) = (10 - x) (200 + 50x)

Step-by-step explanation:

A candlemaker prices one set of scented candles at $10 and sells an average of 200 sets each week.

Now, it is found that for reducing the price of the set of candles by 1$ the sell of the sets increases by 50 each week.

So, for reducing the price by $x the sell will increase by 50x numbers per week.

Therefore, the candlemaker's weekly revenue after reducing the price by $x will be given by R (x) = (10 - x) (200 + 50x) (Answer)
