Answer:speculative investment
Explanation:
just took the test.
To figure this out, we need to write down some rules/formulas.
Max works 40 hours per week. There are 52 weeks within a year. He made $25,480 last year, and now we're looking for how much he made per hour.
Since we have 52 weeks in a year, divide 25,480 by 52 to get how much he made per week. Once we do that, divide that quotient by 40 to get how much he made per hour.
25,480/52 = 490.
He made $490 per week, but now we must divide by 40 to get how much he made per hour, since we have 40 hours.
490/40 = 12.25
Max made $12.25 per hour.
I hope this helps!
For Q1, you have to set these equations equal to each other because it is asking how much of x is necessary to make the same amount of y, so:
3995 + 225.50x = 6500 + 100.25x
solve for x:, and get x=20
so 20 tons of sugar will give the companies the same cost.
For Q2: you need to plug in x=20 into either one of the original equations, and solve for y because this will give you the cost of transportation, so:
y= 3995 + 225.50(20)
y=$8,505 for the total cost
