What is the relationship between total revenue price and quantity sold?

Total revenue of one firm is the cumulative total of revenue receipts from sale of a given amount of a commodity. It represents the market price of a certain good which is denoted as ‘p’, multiplied by that firm’s output which is denoted as ‘q’.
