Solution

The number 6 in the expression represents the price per issue (in dollars) at which Kevin would sell no magazines. This is because when p equals 6, the expression –1500p(p–6) equals zero, meaning Kevin would make no revenue. This is likely because the price is too high and no one is willing to buy the magazine.
