Her business will break even when she contains sold 1740 bottles of her lotion.

<h3>How many bottles of lotion must she make and sell before her business breaks even?</h3>

Given: She invests $15,225 in equipment to manufacture and package her lotion each bottle costs $3.25 to manufacture and sells for $12.

"Break even" occurs when Revenue = Costs.

($12/bottle)x = $15225 + ($3.25)x

Simplifying the above equation, we get

$8.75x = $15225

Diving both sides of the equation by 8.75, we get

$8.75x/8.75 = $15225/8.75

x = 1740 bottles

Therefore, the value of x = 1740 bottles.

Her business will break even when she contains sold 1740 bottles of her lotion.

Therefore, the correct answer is option b. 1740 bottles.

You are at a European beach with 60 other visitors. 36 of them speak English. If you randomly meet two people on the beach, what
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

Assuming I'm one of the 36 English speakers and the other 24 speak Spanish for illustration purposes.  The problem can be modeled as 59 marbles with 35 E and 24 S marbles as N = 59 possible outcomes = n(E) + n(S) = 35 + 24.

So I reach into the pile of marbles (on the beach) and the probability that it's p(E) = n(E)/N = 35/59 = 0.593220339 when I meet the one person. ANS

I assume I remember that first person; so I remove him from the marbles (by avoiding him on the beach) and now my probability is p(E and E) = n(E)/N * n(E)-1/(N - 1) = 35/59*34/58 = 0.347749854 ANS

Following the same logic p(E and E and E) = 35/59*34/58*33/57 = 0.201328863 ANS

This last one is different from the first three.  This one is p(E >= 1|4 attempts).  We can trace out a probability tree to identify those branches that contain at least one E event.  So:

EEEE p() = 35/59 * 34/58 * 33/57 * 32/56 =  

EEES p() = 35/59 * 34/58 * 33/57 * 24/56 =

EESE p() = 35/59 * 34/58 * 24/57 * 33/56 =

ESEE p() = 35/59 * 24/58 * 34/57 * 33/56 =

SEEE p() = 24/59 * 35/58 * 34/57 * 33/56 =

EESS p() = 35/59 * 34/58 * 24/57 * 23/56 =

ESES p() = 35/59 * 24/58 * 34/57 * 23/56 =

SEES

SESE

SSEE

ESSS  And so on, but...a big BUT...why do all this when

SESS

SSES

SSSE

SSSS

p(E>=1|4) = 1 - p(S and S and S and S) = 1 - 24/59 * 23/58 * 22/57 * 21/56 = 0.976652619   ANS.  In other words we find the probability of not meeting an Englishman and take 1 minus that value to find the probability of meeting at least one.
