To determine the total revenue from the sale of 238 washing machines, we need to substitute the value of x (238) into the given equation for total revenue, R=232.94x-0.1x^2.

Let's calculate the total revenue:

R = 232.94x - 0.1x^2
R = 232.94(238) - 0.1(238)^2
R = 55,504.92 - 0.1(238)^2
R = 55,504.92 - 0.1(56,644)
R = 55,504.92 - 5,664.4
R = 49,840.52

Therefore, the total revenue from the sale of 238 washing machines would be $49,840.52, not $49,775.32 as you suggested.

Your answer was very close, only off by a small amount. Make sure to double-check your calculations to avoid any minor errors.
