Explanation / Answer

Find revenue as

R=x*p

=90000/sqrt(4p+1) *p

=90000p/sqrt(4p+1)

Find derivative with respect to time as

dR/dt =(90000 (2 p + 1))/(4 p + 1)^(3/2) *dp/dt

Substitute p =240 and dp/dt =5

dR/dt =43290000/29791 *5

=216450000/29791

= 7265.617 dollars per month { rounded to three decimals}
