Answer:
5/11
explanation
Probability here is the chance of selection out of a total. So, we need to first find the total number of marbles.
total
=
5
+
3
+
2
+
1
=
11
So there are
11
marbles total. The probability that we pick one of the
3
green marbles out of the
11
is simply that ratio:
P
green
=
3
11
Same idea for yellow:
P
yellow
=
2
11
The probability of picking either of these colors is simply the sum of their probabilities.
P
green or yellow
=
P
green
+
P
yellow
=
3
11
+
2
11
=
5
11
Multiply all sides and you should get your answer!
a. Write the cost function:: C(x) = 100x + 100,000 where x is number of guitars
---------------------------------
b. Write the revenue function:: R(x) = 300x where x is number of guitars
-----------------------
c. Find the profit function.
Profit = Revenue - Cost
P(x) = R(x) - C(x)
P(x) = [ R(x) ] - [ C(x) ]
P(x) = [ 300x ] - [ 100x+100,000 ]
P(x) = 300x - 100x-100,000
P(x) = 200x - 100,000
The break even point is when the profit is 0 dollars. You don't lose any money. And you don't gain any money.
Solve 125x - 100,000 = 0
125x = 100,000
x = 800 (# of guitars made and sold)
A
because it has used multiplicative property
