The answer is right above me yw lol
Answer:
<em>The least number of items to produce is 41</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Average Cost</u>
Given C(x) as the cost function to produce x items. The average cost is:

The cost function is:

And the average cost function is:

We are required to find the least number of items that can be produced so the average cost is less or equal to $21.
We set the inequality:

Multiplying by x:

Note we multiplied by x and did not flip the inequality sign because its value cannot be negative.
Adding 20x:


Swapping sides and changing the sign:

Dividing by 41:

The least number of items to produce is 41
Answer:
- 10 liters of orange juice
- 5 liters of champagne
Step-by-step explanation:
Let c represent the number of liters of champagne Lauren uses. Then (15-c) will be the number of liters of orange juice. The total cost of the mix will be ...
12c +1.50(15-c) = 5.00(15)
10.5c = 52.50 . . . . . subtract 22.50, simplify
52.50/10.5 = c = 5 . . . . divide by the coefficient of c
Then the amount of orange juice is ...
15 -c = 15 -5 = 10 . . . . liters
Lauren should use 5 liters of champagne and 10 liters of orange juice.
