    In this question, q is the number of buggies the company can sell in a month if the price is $p per buggy. The revenue should be number of buggies sold (q) multiplied by the price (p). The equation would be:

    revenue = p * q

    revenue = p * (-4p + 616) = - 4p^2 + 616p

    The maximum revenue should be in the peak of the graph. The calculation would be:

    -4p^2 + 616p

    -4*2 p^2-1 + 616*1 p^1-1=0

    -8p + 616=0

    8p = 616

    p=77

    Put p=77 in the revenue equation would result

    revenue = - 4p^2 + 616p

    revenue = - 4 (77^2) + 616 (77) = - 23716 + 47432 = $23716
