From calculus, to determine the maxima or minima of the graph, get the derivative of the equation and equate to zero. So, we derive first the equation of the graph and equate to zero.

C = 0.25x² - 80x + 30000
dC/dx = 0 = 0.5x - 80 + 0
0.5x = 80
x = 80/0.5
x = 160 units

The minimum cost (although not asked) is:

C = 0.25(160)² - 80(160) + 30000
C = $23,600

The answer is 160 units.

Degger [83]

Answer:

The total price of 4\frac{1}{2}  pounds of apples is <u>$6.48</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Last week,the price of apples at a grocery store was 1.60 per pound.This week,apples at the same grocery store are on sale for a 10% discount.

Now, to find the total price of 4 1/2 pounds of apples this week at the grocery store.

The price of apples at a grocery store last week was = $1.60 per pound.

This week apples at the same grocery store is on sale of 10% discount.

Thus, the price of apples at a grocery store this week is:

1.60-10\%\ of\ 1.60.

=1.60-\frac{10}{100} \times 1.60

=1.60-0.16

=\$1.44.

So, the price of apples per pound this week is $1.44.

Now, to get the total price of 4\frac{1}{2} pounds of apples by using unitary method:

If 1 pound of apples cost = 1.44.

Then, \frac{9}{2} pound of apples cost = 1.44\times \frac{9}{2}

=1.44\times 4.5

=\$6.48.

Therefore, the total price of 4\frac{1}{2}  pounds of apples is $6.48.
