Answer:

2000 bars, or $1200

Explanation:

Let x represent the number of candy bars that are sold.  Since they are sold for $0.60 each, this gives us the expression

0.60x

to represent the profit.

The factor has $0.10 per candy bar additional expense; this gives us the expression

0.10x.

However the factory also has $1000 fixed costs; this gives us

0.10x + 1000

to represent the costs.

The break-even point is the point where these two expressions are equal; this gives us the equation

0.60x = 0.10x + 1000

Subtract 0.10x from each side:

0.60x - 0.10x = 0.10x + 1000 - 0.10x

0.50x = 1000

Divide both sides by 0.50:

0.50x/0.50 = 1000/0.50

x = 2000

The break-even point is 2000 candy bars, which would sell for

0.60(2000) = $1200

Let the number of candybars made be x. We first need to find an equation for revenue, which is profit - cost.

Lets work out what profit is first. Each candybar sells for 60 cents, therefore 0.60x represents how much profit is made from the candybars.

Next, lets work out cost. We know there's a fixed cost of 1000 plus the cost per bar which is 0.10x. So the equation for cost is 1000 + 0.10x.

Finally, lets solve for revenue.

R = 0.60x - (1000 + 0.10x)

R = 0.60x - 1000 - 0.10x

R = 0.50x - 1000

So, this is our revenue equation. To break even means that revenue is 0. The company isn't making or losing any money. Therefore, we can set this equation to 0 to find how many bars need to be made to break even.

0 = 0.50x - 1000

1000 = 0.50x

2000 = x

Thus, the company needs to make 2000 candy bars to break even.

List the sequence of transformations. ()=−2(−3)^4+1
SVEN [57.7K]

We have the function:

()=−2(−3)^4+1

We need to go from this equation to the parent function x^4. To do that, we first do a vertical translation of 1 unit below. That is:

Vertical translation: f(x) - 1

= −2(−3)^4

Now, we make a horizontal shift of 3 units to the left, replacing x by x + 3:

f(x + 3) + 1 = −2()^4

Horizontal shift: f(x + 3) - 1

= −2x^4

We can make a horizontal expansion if we multiply this function by 1/2:

Horizontal expansion: ( f(x + 3) - 1 ) / 2

= -x^4

Finally, we make a reflection around the x-axis by multiplying this result by -1:

x-axis reflection: -( f(x + 3) - 1 ) / 2

= x^4

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is 60/12 becuase we can simfly both of theese mixed numbers into an improper fraction, wich will be 4/3*15/4. We do the multiplication, and we get 60/12. 60/12 can be simplifed to 5 becuase 60 divided by 12 is 5

(03.01 LC)<br><br> What is the length of leg y of the right triangle? (1 point)
EastWind [94]

Answer:

<h2>A</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is

What is the length of leg y of the right triangle?

A right triangle with hypotenuse 26 and legs 24 and y

  • 10
  • 14
  • 24
  • 26

We need to use the Pythagorean Theorem, where h=26 and x=24,

h^{2} =x^{2} +y^{2}\\ 26^{2}=24^{2}+y^{2}\\y=\sqrt{26^{2}-24^{2}}\\ y=\sqrt{676-576}\\ y=\sqrt{100}\\ y=10

Therefore, the right answer is A. The length of the missing leg is 10 units.

Riverdale High ordered 84 shirts with their logo on them. if 8 of the shirts were defective what percent of the shirts were not
Ymorist [56]

8 were defective.

Defective percent = 8/84 x 100 = 9.5238% were defective.

Percent not defective = 100% - 9.5238% = 90.4761%

Rounding to the nearest tenth 90.5% were not defective.

The question doesn’t say how to round the answer so you may need to round differently than I did.
