Using the equation, the amount of ribbon she needs to sell to break even is 50 ribbons.

<h3>How to represent system of equation and solve?</h3>

x = number of ribbons

y = expenses or revenue

Therefore, the system of equation for this situation is as follows;

y(expenses) = 23 + 0.04x

y = 23 + 0.04x

He charges $0.50 per ribbon. Therefore,

y(revenue) = 0.50x

y = 0.50x

Therefore, for her to break even,

23 + 0.04x = 0.50x

23 = 0.46x

x = 23 / 0.46

x = 50

Therefore, she needs to sell 50 ribbons for her to break even.

stellarik [79]

Answer:

<h2>$2</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets see how much money she spent first.

$50 - $26 = $24

Now that we know she spent $24 we can divide 24 by twelve which will tell us how much each ride costs

24 / 12 = 2

She spent $2 on each ride

The value of a collector's item is expected to increase exponentially each year. The item is purchased for $500 and its value in
slava [35]

Answer:

  $607.75

Step-by-step explanation:

As a first approximation, compound interest will be slightly higher than simple interest for a relatively short time period. Here simple interest at 5% for 4 years will add 4×5% = 20% to the value, adding about $100 to the initial $500 value. That is, we expect the value in 4 years to be slightly more than $600.

The appropriate answer choice is $607.75.

_____

The actual amount can be calculated using the multiplier 1.05 for each of the 4 years, or 1.05^4 ≈ 1.21550625 for the entire period. Then the predicted item value is ...

  $500 × 1.21550625 = $607.753125 ≈ $607.75

4) If x-1/x=5, fand the value of x²+ 1/x²​
tangare [24]

Given:

\sf x\ -\ \dfrac{1}{x}\ =\ 5

To find:

\sf The\ value\ of\ x^2\ +\ \dfrac{1}{x^2}.

Answer:

\sf x\ -\ \dfrac{1}{x}\ =\ 5

Let's square the above expression.

\sf \bigg(x\ -\ \dfrac{1}{x}\bigg)^2\ =\ 5^2

According to the identities, (a - b)² = a² - 2ab + b². Using the same logic for the expression above,

\sf x^2\ -\ 2\ \times\ x\ \times\ \dfrac{1}{x}\ +\ \dfrac{1}{x^2}\ =\ 25\\\\\\x^2\ -\ 2\ +\ \dfrac{1}{x^2}\ =\ 25\\\\\\x^2\ +\ \dfrac{1}{x^2}\ =\ 25 + 2\\\\\\x^2\ +\ \dfrac{1}{x^2}\ =\ 27

Therefore, the value of x² + 1/x² is 27.
