Work Step by Step

$C(x)=2x^2-800x+92000$ Since the graph opens downward, the vertex will have the highest point on the graph. $a=2$, $b=-800$, $c=92000$ Vertex: $x=-b/2a$ $x=-(-800)/2*2$ $x=800/4$ $x=200$ 200 bikes $C(x)=2x^2-800x+92000$ $C(200)=2(200)^2-800*200+92000$ $C(200)=2*40000-160000+92000$ $C(200)=80000-160000+92000$ $C(200)=12000$ 12,000 dollars
