The policy that makes the largest proſit for the company is Policy A, by $1500.

<h3>Which policy makes the largest proſIt?</h3>

Profit is the amount paid by people to enter the sweepstakes less the amount they can win.

  • Policy A's profit: $5 - 0.1[(0.9 x $10) + (0.095 x $50) + (0.005 x $250)] = $5 - 1.5 = $3.5

$3.5 X 10,000 = $35,000

  • Policy B's profit:10 - 0.15[(0.8 x 10) + (0.18 x 50) + (0.02 x 250) = 10 - 3.30 = 6.7

$6.7 X 5000 = $33500

  • Difference in profits = $35,000 - 33500 = $1500

The length of the rectangular tennis court at wimbledon is 6 feet longer than twice the width. if the court's perimeter is 240 f
KATRIN_1 [288]

Length (L): 2w + 6

width (w): w

Perimeter (P) = 2L + 2w

               240 = 2(2w + 6) + 2(w)

               240 = 4w + 12 + 2w

               240 = 6w + 12

               228 = 6w

                 38 = w

Length (L): 2w + 6   = 2(38) + 6   = 76 + 6   = 82

Answer: width = 38 ft, length = 82 ft
