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

Two siblings' ages have a sum of 64 years. The older sibling was born 6 years before their young sibling.
Elina [12.6K]

Hi!

So we have to make a system of equations here.

Let sibling 1 be O and sibling 2 be Y (for older and younger)

So:

O + Y = 64

O = 64 - Y

(Either one works)

The older sibling is 6 years older.

O = Y + 6

Make everything in terms of Y.

64 - Y = Y + 6

Same to both:

58 = 2y

2y = 58

Divide by 2 on both sides:

y = 29

Since the older sibling is 6 years older:

29 + 6 = 35

Y = 29

O = 35

Let me know if you have any questions.

Answer:

60cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

as the green and blue box are squares they will have the same sides, length.

so all the sides in the green and blue squares are 3

the pink and orange rectangles : the longer is 7 the shorter one is 3

for the top length of the whole shape is = 7 +3 = 10

side length of the shape is 3 + 3= 6

so then you do 6 x 10 = 60

60 cm² is the answer :)
