Word problem Calc PLEASE HELP!

An fruit grower knows from previous experience and careful data analysis that if the fruit on a specific kind of tree is harvested at this time of year, each tree will yield, on average, 132 pounds, and will sell for $0.6 per pound. However, for each additional week the harvest is delayed (up to a point), the yield per tree will increase by 5 pounds, while the price per pound will decrease by $0.02.

A) How many weeks should the grower wait before harvesting the apples in order to maximize the sales revenue per tree?
 
B) Use your answer in part A to find the actual maximum revenue that can be expected.
