I'm assuming that average that you're posting is just the average of all the salaries listed in the data provide. This includes all the administrators (as far as I can tell). To be a useful comparison, you'd have to include a

There were two parts I didn't understand: One, how was the equation for revenue derived? Is it common knowledge that Revenue, as a function of price, is equivalent to your demand times your price? This wasn't obvious to me. Second, how is R
