Answer:
<em>The company needs to sell 40 desks to break even</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Application of Equations</u>
There is virtually no limit to the possible situations where equations can help to find the solution of specific problems related to areas like economy, where one could need to establish some important indicators about the business.
B. The fixed cost for Abstract Office Supplies to sell a new computer desk is $14,000. Each desk will cost $150 to produce. The cost function to produce X desks is
C(x)=150x+14,000
A. The revenue for each desk is estimated at $500, for X desks will be
R(x)=500x
C. The company will break even when the cost and the revenue are the same. We'll find how many desks need to be sold for that to happen. We equate
C(x)=R(x)
Or equivalently
150x+14,000=500x
Rearranging
500x-150x=14,000
350x=14,000
Solving for x
x=14,000/350= 40
The company needs to sell 40 desks to break even
Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
Okay so the shape has an area of 60 square inches. The formula for the area of a triangle is A = b*h where A = area, b = base, and h = height
So we are given the value for A (60)
We are given the value for height (10)
So we just need to find the value of the base
So let's set this up as an equation. Input the given values into the area for triangle formula
A = B*h
60 = B * 10
So we need to solve for B. To do that we need to get B alone on one side of the = sign. B is being multiplied by 10 so do the opposite and divide both sides by 10
60 divided by 10 = 6
10 divided by 10 = 1 (don't actually put a 1 down, just drop it)
So we are left with
6 = B
So the base is 6 square inches. To test, put it in the equation:
A = B*h
60 = 6*10
60 = 60
