The cruise boat can carry up to 45 passengers. The company wants to know the minimum number of passengers needed per cruise to c

over its costs. This number is called the break-even point. A formula for calculating the break-even point is: Break-even point = (fixed costs) ÷ (income per passenger – costs per passenger) The company collects the following data:
Fixed cost (per cruise)
CREW SALARY $350
FUEL $120
OVERHEADS $170

Varible costs( per passenger)
REFRESHMENTS $6.50
REFUND $3.64

SALES INCOME (PER PASSENGER)
AVERAGE TICKET INCOME $36.40

Based on this data, what is the minimum number of passengers needed per cruise, so that the cruise company can be sure it will make a profit?

Fixed costs:
$350 + $120 + $170 = $640
Variable costs:
x * ( $6.50 + $3.64 ) = x * 10.14
Sales income ( total ):
x * $36.40
FC + FV - Income = 0
640 + 10.14 x - 36.40 x = 0
640 - 26.26 x = 0
26.26 x = 640
x = 640 : 26.26 = 24.37
Answer:
The minimum number of passengers needed per cruise, so that the cruise company can be sure it will make a profit is 25.

Answer: s(s+4)=7, 7 shelves

Step-by-step explanation:

I think it's easiest to find these type of answers by finding the common factors of a number. First 77, they are 1×77 & 7×11.so you can have 11 rocks on 7 shelves or 7 rocks on 11 shelves. The question states the number or rocks on the shelf is more than the number of shelves, so you must have 11 rocks on 7 shelves. You know you have 77 rocks, so the equation must equal 77. I plugged 7 in for s in the equations to determine the correct answer. 7(7+4)=77.

The Morales family is remodeling their home. They want to remove the wall between the living room. and dining room to make one b
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

Area of living room

= 20(x+5)

= 20x +100

Area of dining room= 20x

Total area

= 20x +100 +20x

= 40x +100

Total perimeter (after wall is removed)

= 2(20) + 2( x+x+5)

= 40 + 2(2x+5)

= 40 +4x +10 (expand)

= 4x +50 (simplify)

Step-by-step explanation:
