Tiffany sells boiled taters for $10 a plate. She sells 50 plates a week for a total of ($10)(50) = $500 each week, which is not enough to fund her growing sheep empire. She would like to increase this revenue to $600 a week or more, but for every dollar, she increases the prices, she will sell two fewer plates of boiled taters. For example, if she increases the price to $14 per plate of taters, she will sell only 42 plates per week.

At what price should Tiffany sell her boiled tater plates in order to maximize her revenue?
