That's irrelevant. I just need help with my algebra, no need for sarcasm.
To find the total revenue from the sale of 238 washing machines, we can substitute the value of x=238 into the given polynomial equation for total revenue, which is R=232.94x-0.1x^2:
R = 232.94(238) - 0.1(238)^2
R = 55415.72 - 0.1(56644)
R = 55415.72 - 5664.4
R = 49751.32
Therefore, the total revenue from the sale of 238 washing machines is $49,751.32.
