ANSWER: k = 700

 

WORKINGS

 

Given, c(x) = (5.5x + k)/x where,

c(x) is the average cost of printing a book

x is the number of books printed

k is a constant

 

 

If, c(x) = 9

x = 200

Find k

 

c(x) = (5.5x + k)/x

9 = [5.5(200) + k]/200

 

Multiply both sides of the equation by 200

9 * 200 = [5.5(200) + k]/200 * 200

1800 = 5.5(200) + k

1800 = 1100 + k

 

Subtract 1100 from both sides of the equation

1800 – 1100 = 1100 – 1100 + k

700 = k

k = 700

 

Therefore, given that c(x) = (5.5x + k)/x, if on the day when 200 were printed the average cost was $9 per book, the constant, k = 700

To find K, we must use the fact that
 on the day 200 books were printed
 the average cost was $ 9 per book.
 Thus, substituting the values, we have:
 c (x) = (5.5x + k) / (x)
 9 = (5.5 (200) + k) / (200)
 Clearing K
 (200) * 9 = 5.5 (200) + k
 k = (200) * 9 - 5.5 * (200)
 k = 700
 answer
 the value of the constant k is 700

Cheryl is planning to go to a four-year college in two years. She develops a monthly savings plan using the estimates shown. Wha
Alik [6]

Answer:

$541.67 per month

Step-by-step explanation:

Tuition and other expenses = $8,250 per semester.

There are two semesters in a year

She has 4 years to spend

Total semester=4years*2semesters

=8 semesters

4 years in college which is a total of 8 semesters.

Total Tuition and other expenses = $8,250 * 8

= $66,000

She needs a total of $66,00 to complete her college

Assistance from parents=$15,000

Financial aid(per semester)=$4750

Total financial aid=$38,000

Total assistance=

Assistance from parents+ financial aid

=$15000+$38,000

=$53,000

Total savings=Total amount needed - Total assistance

=$66,000 - $53,000

=$13,000

She needs to save $13,000 in two years

There are 12 months in one year

2 years=2*12=24 months

Monthly savings=Total savings/24 months

=$13,000/24

=$541.666666

To the nearest cent

=$541.67

university theater sold 465 tickets for a play. ticket cost $23 per adult and $13 per senior citizen. if total receipts were $71
erik [133]

a=adult tickets


s = senior tickets


a+s=465       a = 465-s


23a + 13s = 7145


substitute in a = 465-a


23 (465-s) + 13s = 7145


distrubute


10695 - 23s +13s =7145


combine like terms


10695 - 10s = 7145


subtract 10695 from each side


-10s = -3550


divide by -10


s = 355


senior tickets sold 355
