Let x be the<u> number of buses</u> and y be the <u>number of vans</u> needed to transport 107 people.

1. If each bus can seat 31 people and 3 of them should be teachers, then x buses can seat (31-3)x=28x students. If each van can seat 9 people and 1 of them should be teacher, then y vans can seat (9-1)y=8y students.

2. Grant Valley School has hired a fleet of buses and vans to transport 96 students to a picnic.Thus,

28x+8y=96.

3. It will take to accommodate 107 people, including the 96 students and teachers, then the number of teachers is 107-96=11.

x buses will take 3x teachers and y vans will take y teachers,

Therefore, 3x+y=11.

4. Solve the system of equations:

\left\{\begin{array}{l}28x+8y=96\\3x+y=11\end{array}\right.\Rightarrow \left\{\begin{array}{l}28x+8(11-3x)=96\\y=11-3x\end{array}\right..

Solve the first equation:

28x+88-24x=96,\\ \\4x=8,\\ \\x=2.

Then y=11-3x=11-6=5.

Answer: 2 buses and 5 vans

A music company sells CDs for a particular artist. The company has advertising cost of $4,000 and recoding costs of $10,000; The
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

First, let's write all the costs:

$4,000 in advertising.

$10,000 in the recording.

$5,50 per cd.

Then we have that the cost will be:

C(x) = $4,000 + $10,000 + $5.50*x

where x is the number of CDs distributed.

C(x) = $5.50*x + $14,000.

Now, they win $7.20 per cd, so the tota wins are:

W(x) = $7.20*x

The profit will be the difference between the total win and the cost:

p(x) = $7,20*x - $5.50*x - $14,000 = $1.7*x - $14,000

Now with this function, we can calculate the number of CDs that the company needs to sell in order to break even, that is when the profit is exactly zero.

P(x) = $0 = $1.7*x - $14,000

$1.7*x = $14,000

x = $14,000/$1.7 = 8,235.3 CDs, that we should round up to 8,236.

This means that the company must sell more than 8,236 if they want to have a positive profit.
