You want to maximize income which is P*Q
P Q = 100 P - 2 P ^2

2 p^2 -100 p = - income
where is that derivative = 0?
4 p - 100
p = 25 seems to be it.
then you rent
Q = 100 - 50 = 50 of them
and you make
PQ = $1250
If you have not had calculus, find the vertex of that parabola by completing the square
