The value of each book in the set will be $6.5 when he sold his books to the second hand store.

<h3>What is profit and loss?</h3>

When we sell any product above its cost price then there will be profit if the selling price is less then the cost price then there will be loss on the product.

here the total cost of the books sold will be given as:-

$\$29.75+ \$2.75 =\$ 32.5$

The cost of the each book will be

$=\dfrac{32.5}{5}=\$6.5$

Hence the value of each book in the set will be $6.5 when he sold his books to the second hand store.

Suppose a home improvement contractor is painting the walls and ceiling of a rectangular room. The volume of the room is 288 cub

ratelena [41]

Answer:

The minimum cost is $17.30c

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$V = 288$ --- Volume

$C_1 = 0.06$ --- cost of wall paint

$C_2 = 0.16$ ---cost of ceiling paint

Required

Minimum cost of paint

The volume is calculated as:

$V =xyz$

Substitute 288 for V

$288 =xyz$

Make z the subject

$z = \frac{288}{xy}$

The surface area is calculated as:

$Area = 2(yz + xz) + xy$

Because xy represent the dimension of the ceiling and the opposite of the ceiling (the floor) will not be painted. Hence, it does not require a coefficient of 2

The cost is:

$C = 0.06 * 2(yz + xz) + 0.16 * xy$

Substitute $z = \frac{288}{xy}$

$C = 0.06 * 2(y*\frac{288}{xy} + x*\frac{288}{xy}) + 0.16 * xy$

$C = 0.06 * 2(\frac{288}{x} + \frac{288}{y}) + 0.16 * xy$

$C = 0.12(\frac{288}{x} + \frac{288}{y}) + 0.16 * xy$

$C = (\frac{34.56}{x} + \frac{34.56}{y}) + 0.16 * xy$

$C = (\frac{34.56}{x} + \frac{34.56}{y}) + 0.16 xy$

Differentiate w.r.t x and y

$C_x = -\frac{34.56}{x^2} + 0.16y$

$C_y = -\frac{34.56}{y^2} + 0.16x$

By comparison: $x = y$

Set them equal to 0

$C_y = -\frac{34.56}{y^2} + 0.16x=0$

$-\frac{34.56}{y^2} + 0.16x=0\\$

Substitute x for y

$-\frac{34.56}{x^2} + 0.16x=0$

$0.16x=\frac{34.56}{x^2}$

Cross multiply

$0.16x^3 = 34.56$

$x^3 = \frac{34.56}{0.16}$

$x^3 = 216$

Take the cube root of both sides

$x = \sqrt[3]{216}$

$x = 6$

$x=y= 6$

Substitute 6 for x and for y in $C = (\frac{34.56}{x} + \frac{34.56}{y}) + 0.16 xy$

$C = (\frac{34.56}{6} + \frac{34.56}{6}) + 0.16 * 6* 6$

$C = (\frac{2*34.56}{6}) + 5.76$

$C = 11.52 + 5.76$

$C = 17.28$

$C = 17.3$ --- approximated

How do you solve this problem?

MAXImum [283]

Easy here OK so what you do is multiply 2 times 6 and it is 12 then do 2 times 12 which is 24 so Tanya is 24 hope I helped!
