The break even point is the point where in the total cost and the total revenue of the business are of the same value which means there is no profit or no loss. It is would be the minimum point that a business to reach in order to be able to recover the costs without any loss. At this point selling cost is equal to the sum of the fixed cost and the variable cost. To determine the break even point in units, we do as follows:

SC = FC + VC
Px = FC + Vx
where x is the number of units, P is the price per unit and V is the variable cost per unit.

x = FC / P - V
x = 561000 / (8.00 - 0.50)
x = 74800 units

Check the picture below.

neverminding for a few seconds the volume of the cylinder, the percentage in the height used by the water will be the same as the percentage of its volume.  We know the total amount or 100% of the height is 14, so what is 11 in percentage?

\begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 14&100\\ 11&x \end{array}\implies \cfrac{14}{11}=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies 14x=1100 \\\\\\ x = \cfrac{1100}{14}\implies x = \cfrac{550}{7}\implies \boxed{x \approx 78.6}

The school sold $6000 worth of tickets. Adult tickets were seven dollar and children’s tickets were three dollars. Three times a
padilas [110]

Answer:

1,500 tickets in total (375 adult tickets and 1,125 children tickets)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of adult tickets sold.

Three times as many children tickets were sold as adults, so 3x is the number of children tickets sold.

Children tickets were three dollars, so 3x children tickets cost \$3\cdot 3x=\$9x.

Adult tickets were seven dollar, so x adult tickets cost \$7\cdot x=\$7x.

The school sold $6000 worth of tickets.

Hence,

9x+7x=6,000\\ \\16x=6,000\\ \\x=\dfrac{6,000}{16}=375\\ \\3x=1,125\\ \\x+3x=375+1,125=1,500

Which expression can be substituted for y in the top equation of the
maria [59]

Answer:

Y=7+3x, x=-3, y=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

3x-5y=1. Equation 1

3x-y=-7. Equation 2

-y=-7-3x isolate for y in equation 2

y=7+3x multiplied by -1 to get positive y

3x-5(7+3x)=1 substitute y value of equation 2 (7+3x) into equation 1

3x-35-15x=1

-12x=36

x=-3

solve for y.

3x-5y=1

3(-3)-5y=1

-9-5y=1

-5y=10

y=-2

givi [52]

Answers:

a = 1/3

b = -6

c = 7

======================================================

Explanation:

The terms of the given expression rearrange to \frac{1}{3}x^2 - 6x+7 which is now in standard form (the exponents decrease when moving from left to right).

We can see that

a = 1/3

b = -6

c = 7

after matching that with the ax^2+bx+c form.
