Answer

See below

Work Step by Step

We have: $-0.8x^2+146x \gt 6500\\\Leftrightarrow-0.8x^2+146x-6500\gt 0 \\ \Leftrightarrow 4x^2-730x+32500 \lt 0 \\ \Leftrightarrow 2x^2-365x+16250\lt 0 \\ \Leftrightarrow x=\frac{365 \pm \sqrt 3225}{4}\approx 77105$ Graphing the concave down parabola of the original inequality $y=-0.8x^2+146x-6500$, the revenue will be above $\$6500$ when the price is in the interval $(77,105)$.
