How do I find the formulas and the max profit

A travel agency offers a package for

​$2000

per person if they have

50

or less sign up. For each person in excess of

50​,

the agency reduces the price by

​$10

for every traveler.

​(a) Complete the table to explore the relationship between price and revenue numerically.

​(b) Generalize the numerical pattern in the table to write formulas for the price as a function of number of travelers and revenue as a function of travelers.

​(c) What number of travelers must sign up to produce the maximum​ revenue?

What is the maximum revenue and what will each passenger​ pay?

​(d) It will cost the travel agency

​C(n)=9000+400n

for this trip if they have n travelers.

Determine the number of travelers needed to produce the maximum profit.

What is the maximum profit and what will each passenger​ pay?
