Assume that the cost to produce an item is a linear function and all items produced are sold. A lumber yard has fixed costs of $

2230.80 per day and variable costs of $0.03 per board-foot produced (a board-foot is a measure of volume). The lumber then is sold for
$1.13 per board-foot. How many board-feet must be sold for the lumber yard to make a profit? Write the inequality, solve and interpret the results.

Answer:

1.13x > 2230.80 + 0.03x

x > 2028

(more than 2028 or atleast 2029)

Step-by-step explanation:

Revenue = 1.13x

Cost = 2230.8 + 0.03x

Profit: Revenue > Cost

1.13x > 2230.8 + 0.03x

1.13x - 0.03x > 2230.80

1.1x > 2230.8

x > 2028

More than 2028 board feet must be produced in order to make profit.

At 2028, there's no profit no loss

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

The costs are

2230.80 + .03 b where b is the board foot

the income was 1.13b

Profit is income - costs

Profit = 1.13b - (2230.80 + .03 b)

Distribute

= 1.13b - .03b - 2230.08

= 1.10b - 2230.08

Profit is when the money is greater than 0

(breaking even is 0)

0 <1.10b - 2230.08

Add 2230.08 to each side

2230.08 < 1.10b - 2230.08 + 2230.08

2230.08 < 1.10b

Divide by 1.10

2230.08/1.10 < 1.10b/1.10

2027.345455 <b

They must sell at least 2027.345 board feet of lumber per day to make a profit

US consumes 5.03 million metric tons of bananas per year. There are 313 million people in the US there are 1000kg in 1 metric to

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first start with the unit rate of how many metric tons each person eats per year, then we will convert metric tons to kg.

5.03/313 = .0160702875 metric tons of bananas per person

Using the conversion given:

.0160702875 metric tons × $\frac{1kg}{1metricton}$ = 16.07 kg per person of bananas

A phone company offers two monthly plans. In plan A, the customer pays a monthly fee of $35 and then an additional 9 cents per m

lbvjy [14]

Answer:

Lesser than 6.9 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let m represent the number of minutes of phone use with either plan A or plan B.

In plan A, the customer pays a monthly fee of $35 and then an additional 9 cents(9/100 = $0.09) per minute of use. This means that the total cost of m minutes would be

0.09m + 35

In Plan B, the customer pays a monthly fee of $55.70 and then an additional 6 cents(6/100 = $0.06) per minute of use. This means that the total cost of m minutes would be

0.06m + 55.70

Therefore, for the amounts of monthly phone use for which Plan A will cost less than Plan B, it becomes

0.09m + 35 < 0.06m + 55.70

0.09m - 0.06m < 55.70 - 35

0.03m < 20.7

m < 20.7/3

m < 6.9

Stereo speakers are manufactured with a probability of 0.100.10 being defective. TwentyTwenty speakers are randomly selected. Le

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

The expected value of X is 2 with a standard deviation of 1.34.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each speaker, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is defective, or it is not. The probability of a speaker being defective is independent of other speakers. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

$E(X) = np$

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}$

Stereo speakers are manufactured with a probability of 0.1 of being defective

This means that $p = 0.1$

Twenty speakers are randomly selected.

This means that $n = 20$

Let the random variable X be defined as the number of defective speakers. Find the expected value and the standard deviation.

$E(X) = np = 20*0.1 = 2$

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{20*0.1*0.9} = 1.34$

The expected value of X is 2 with a standard deviation of 1.34.
