CATERING TOTAL COST  F(X) = 10X + 300

TOTAL REQUIRED                       14X

                                                  10X + 300 = 14X

                                                   10X - 14X = -300

                                                            -4X = -300

                                                              4X = 300

                                                                X= 300/4

                                                                 X=75  <------------------SOLUTION

Answer:

Let x be the number of person and y be the total cost per person.

As per the statement:

A catering company charges a $300 set up fee and $10 per person for a lunch buffet.

"$10 per person" translated to 10x

then;

Total cost per person = 10x+300

It is also given that: total cost per person is $14.

⇒14x=10x+300

Subtract 10x from both sides we have;

4x = 300

Divide both sides by 4 we have;

x = 75

Therefore, 75 number of people must attend the lunch so that the total cost per person is $14

Write out the following proportions in words. a. 7 :28 = 2 : 8 b. 3⁄1 = 18⁄6 c. 9 : 72 = 2 : 16 d. 81⁄9 = 45⁄5
Lerok [7]
1) Proportion a.

7 : 28 = 2 : 8

That means that the ratio 7 / 28 is equal to the ratio 2 : 8. 

You can verify the equality by simplifying to the simplest form:

     7 : 28 = 1 / 4 simplest form
     2 : 8 = 1 / 4 simplest form, then the proportion is right.

In words that is 7 is to 28 as 1 is to 4 ← answer


2) Proportion b.<span>. 3⁄1 = 18⁄6

</span><span>
</span><span>In words: 3 is to q as 18 is to 6 ← answer
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>You can verify the proportion by simplifiying the second fraction:
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>     18 / 6 = [18 / 6] / [ 6 / 6] = 3 / 1
</span><span>

</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>In words: 9 is to 72 as 2 is to 16 ← answer

</span><span>Proove the proportion:
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>     9 / 72 = 1 / 8
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>     2 / 16 = 1 / 8
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>4) Proportion d. 81⁄9 = 45⁄5</span>

In words: 81 is to 9 as 45 is to 5 ← answer


Proove it: 
      81 / 9 = 9
      45 / 9 = 9

Based on a study of population projections for 2000 to​ 2050, the projected population of a group of people​ (in millions) can b
Olegator [25]

Answer:

(a) 0.107 million per year

(b) 0.114 million per year

Step-by-step explanation:

A(t) = 11.19(1.009)^t

(a) The average rate of change between 2000 and 2014 is determined by dividing the difference in the populations in the two years by the number of years. In the year 2000, t=0 and in 2014, t=14. Mathematically,

\text{Rate}=\dfrac{A(2014) - A(2000)}{2014-2000}=\dfrac{11.19(1.009)^14-11.19(1.009)^0} {14}

A(0)=\dfrac{12.69-11.19}{14}=\dfrac{1.5}{14}=0.107

(b) The instantaneous rate of change is determined by finding the differential derivative at that year.

The result of differentiating functions of the firm y=a^x (where a is a constant) is \dfrac{dy}{dx}=a^x\ln a. Let's use in this in finding the derivative of A(t).

A\prime(t) = \dfrac{A}{t}=11.19\cdot1.009^t\ln1.009

In the year 2014, t=14.

A\prime(14) =11.19\cdot1.009^14\ln1.009=0.114
