Answer:
To make a profit of at least $500 she must sell at least 12 necklaces
Step-by-step explanation:
Joyce rented a booth at a carnival at a cost of $95 to sell handmade beaded necklaces. The cost of making and packaging each beaded necklace was $15. If Joyce sells the beaded necklaces at $35 each then we have to find beaded necklaces she sell to make a profit of at least $500.
The costs side of the equation, we have:
Let no. of necklaces that she sell are x
∴ The cost of making and packaging x beaded necklace is $15x
Total Cost = 95+15x
Now, Joyce sells the beaded necklaces at $35 each. Therefore, selling price will be $35x
To make a profit of at least $500 the equation can be written as
⇒
Hence, to make a profit of at least $500 she must sell at least 12 necklaces
x = –6
Solution:
Given expression is .
Step 1: Isolate the radical by subtracting 5 from both sides of the equation.
Step 2: Cube both sides of the equation to remove the cube root.
Cube and cube root get canceled in left side of the equation.
Step 3: To solve for x.
Add 2 on both sides of the equation.
Hence the solution is x = –6.
