In Andrew’s Furniture Shop, he builds bookshelves and tables. Each type of furniture takes him about the same time to make. He f

igures he has time to make at most 18 pieces of furniture by this Saturday. The materials for each bookshelf cost him $20.00 and the materials for each table cost him $45.00. He has $600.00 to spend on materials. Andrew makes a profit of $60.00 on each bookshelf and a profit of $100.00 for each table. How many of each piece of furniture should Andrew make to maximize profit?

Given:
Cost to build a bookshelf = $20
Cost to build a table = $45
Amount available to spend = $600

Let x =  number of bookshelves built.
Let y =  number of tables built.

The total number of bookshelves and tables =  18.
Therefore
x + y = 18.
 That is,
 y = 18 - x                    (1)

The total amount available to build x bookshelves and y tables = $600. Therefore
20x + 45y = 600
That is (dividing through by 5),
4x + 9y = 120            (2)

Substitute (1) into (2).
4x + 9(18 - x) = 120
4x + 162 - 9x = 120
-5x = -42
  x = 8.4
From (1),obtain
 y = 18 - 8.4 = 9.6

Because we cannot have fractional bookshelves and tables, we shall test values of x=8, 9 and y=9,10 for profit

Note: The profit is $60 per bookshelf and $100 per table.
If x = 8, then y = 18-8 = 10.
The profit = 8*60 + 10*100 =  $1480

If x = 9, then y = 18-9 = 9.
The profit = 9*60 + 9*100 = $1440

The choice of 8 bookshelves and 10 tables is more profitable.

Answer: 8 bookshelves and 10 tables.

Brett golfs for the forestville knights high school team. When he practices his putting, he can make a 10-foot putt 80% of the t
balu736 [363]
The formula to calculate standard deviation from probability is \sqrt(n*p*(1-p)). n is the sample size, and 200 in this case (number of putts for practice). p is 80% or 0.8, the probability that he can make it. So the standard deviation is \sqrt(200*0.8*(1-0.8)=\sqrt(200*0.8*0.2)=\sqrt(16)=4.

Find the missing number.
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

20%

Step-by-step explanation:

In the graph, there is a cycle of increasing and decreasing. First, the original circle increases by 25% into the new, larger circle. Then, the circle does back to its original size. So, to solve we can assign a value to the smaller circle, increase it by 25%, and then find what percentage brings this back to the original value.

It is easiest to assign the value of 100 because it is easy to work with. So, let's say the smaller circle is 100; this increased by 25% is 125. The next step is to find what percentage of 125 brings us back to 100. There are multiple ways to do this such as guess and check or proportions/fractions. Either way, the correct percentage is 20%. If you decrease 125 by 20% you get the correct value of 100. This means that the missing number must be 20%.

When a transversal is perpendicular to two parallel lines, all the angles formed measure 90°. Explain why.
kotykmax [81]
When two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, due to the natures of the different relationships among the angles, all of them will be either equal to the measure of the first angle or equal to that angle subtracted from 180.  If the transversal is perpendicular to the parallel lines, forms a right angle, then both the angle given and the angle subtracted from 180 will be 90.  This means all of the angles will be 90.

Lin has a drawing with an area of 20 in squared. If she increases all sides by a scale factor of 4, what will the new area be?
diamong [38]

The new area will be 320 in²

<em><u>Explanation</u></em>

Lin has a drawing with an area of 20 in² and she increases all sides by a scale factor of 4.

<u>The general rule</u> we need to use here.......

"<em>If the lengths of the sides in a shape are all increased by a scale  factor of  k, then the area will be increased by a scale factor of  k^2"</em>

Here the sides are increased by a scale factor of 4. So, the area will be increased by a scale factor of  (4)^2 =16

Thus, the new area will be:  (20*16)in^2 = 320in^2
