Answer

Revenue$=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}{15}&{10}&{12}\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{c}{50}\\{40}\\{30}\end{array}\right]$$=[1,510]$ (Total revenue = $\$1,510$)

Work Step by Step

Revenue= Price $\times$ Quantity Arrange the three prices as a 1$\times$3 row matrix and the three quantities as a 3$\times$1 column matrix. These matrices can be multiplied (the resulting matrix is a 1$\times$1 matrix). Revenue$=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}{15}&{10}&{12}\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{c}{50}\\{40}\\{30}\end{array}\right]$ $=[750+400+360]=[1,510]$
