Let:

C = Total cost

R = Total revenue

x = Number of cakes

a = Cost of the ingredients for each cake = $1

b = Cost of a booth at the fair = $17

c = Selling price of each cake = $18

Therefore:

\begin{gathered} C=ax+b \\ C=x+17 \\ ------- \\ R=18x \end{gathered}

At some point, the club members will sell enough cakes so that their sales cover their expenditures. Therefore:

\begin{gathered} C=R \\ x+17=18x \\ _{\text{ }}solve_{\text{ }}for_{\text{ }}x\colon \\ 18x-x=17 \\ 17x=17 \\ x=\frac{17}{17} \\ x=1 \end{gathered}

Answer:

1 cake and $18

A pyramid with a slant height 4.6 in whose triangular base measures 8 in on each side.Each altitude of the base measures of 6.9
kvasek [131]

Answer:

82.8 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area a triangular based pyramid :

Base area + 1/2(perimeter * slant height)

Base = 8 inches ; Slant height = 4.6 inches ; altitude of base measure = 6.9 inches

Base area of triangle :

1/2 * base * height

1/2 * 8 * 6.9

4 * 6.9

Base area = 27.6 in²

The perimeter, P = sum of sides ; (s1 + s2 + s3

P = 8 + 8 + 8 = 24 in

Hence,

Surface area = 27.6 in² + 1/2(24*4.6)

Surface area = 27.6 in² + (12 * 4.6) in²

Surface area = (27.6 + 55.2)

Surface area = 82.8 in²

The function L = 0.8T^2 models the relationship between L, the length in feet of a pendulum, and T, the period in seconds of the
Semmy [17]
The correct option is "d".
Given that L = 0.8T²
length of pendulum = 30ft

L= 0.8T²
30 = 0.8T²
T² = 30 / 0.8
T² = 37.5
T = √37.5 = 6.1 seconds
<span>So, 6.1 is the closest to the period in seconds for a pendulum that is 30 ft long.</span>
