Profit (P) is calculated by subtracting the total cost (C) from the total revenue (R). The calculations are shown below, 

       R = (1440 dozens) x (12 pieces / 1 dozen) x (25 cents/ piece) = $4320
                   C = (1440 dozens) x ($2.50 / dozen) = $3600
 
                          Profit = R - C = $4320 - $3600 = $720

Thus, the businessman's profit is $720.

Calculate the total cost of an item bought at a negotiated price of $15,640 and a $2,500 trade-in-allowance. The sales tax is 7.
Fofino [41]
Hey! :)

The total cost of the item is the second choice which is $14,372.08. I arrived to the answer by simply: 
1) multiplying the sales tax to the negotiated price (15640*.072 = 1126.08) 
2) adding the sales tax to the negotiated price and the registration as well (15640+1126.08+106= 16872.08)
3) subtracting the trade in allowance from the computed value (16872.08 - 2500 = 14372.08)
Hope this helps! :)

A cruise ship needs to book at least 2,052 passengers to be profitable, but the most passengers the ship can accommodate is 2,46
mart [117]

The numbers of passengers that need to be booked to ensure the cruise line makes a profit, using a compound inequality is x ≥ 2,052 and x ≤ 2,462.

<h3>How to illustrate the inequality?</h3>

From the information given, we are told that the cruise ship needs to book at least 2,052 passengers to be profitable, but the most passengers the ship can accommodate is 2,462.

Learn x be the number of people that can be accommodated. Therefore, the model is x ≥ 2,052 and x ≤ 2,462.

2/5 ÷ 22/35 <br>simplify​
Sliva [168]

Answer:

7/11 (Simplified Already)

Step-by-step explanation: 25÷2235=?

Dividing two fractions is the same as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal (inverse) of the second fraction.

Take the reciprocal of the second fraction by flipping the numerator and denominator and changing the operation to multiplication. Then the equation becomes

25×3522=?

For fraction multiplication, multiply the numerators and then multiply the denominators to get

2×355×22=70110

This fraction can be reduced by dividing both the numerator and denominator by the Greatest Common Factor of 70 and 110 using

GCF(70,110) = 10

70÷10110÷10=711

Therefore:

25÷2235=711

Solution by Formulas

Apply the fractions formula for division, to

25÷2235

and solve

2×355×22

=70110

Reduce by dividing both the numerator and denominator by the Greatest Common Factor GCF(70,110) = 10

70÷10110÷10=711

Therefore:

2/5÷22/35=7/11

The Price family and the Jenkins family each used their sprinklers last summer. The water output rate for the Price family's spr
PIT_PIT [208]

Set up two equations:

1st:  P (for Price family) + J (for Jenkins family) = 45 hours

2nd: 20P + 35J = 1200 liters

Rewrite the first equation as P = 45 – J

Replace P in the second equation:

20(45-J) + 35J = 1200

Simplify:

900 -20J + 35J = 1200

900 +15J = 1200

Subtract 900 from both sides:

15J = 300

Divide both sides by 15:

J = 300/15

J = 20

Jenkins used theirs for 20 hours

Price used theirs for 45-20 = 25 hours.
