<span>The speed of the plane in still air is 440 miles per hour and the speed of the wind is 50 miles per hour. Figured as follows:

Speed of the plane traveling with the wind subtracted by the speed of the plane traveling against the wind (490 minus 390) equals 100. Divide 100 by the number of directions traveled (with and against the wind); (100 divided by 2) equals 50. Thus the speed of the wind is 50 miles per hour.

If no wind was acting on the plane then the average of the difference of the speeds recorded would be the planes speed in still air. (490 minus 390 equals 100 divided by 2 equals 50 plus 390 equals 440 miles per hour).</span>

Let the speed of plane in still air be x and that wind be y
therefore:
x+y=490
x-y=390
next we solve for the values of x and y, first we add the above equations. This will give us:
2x=880
x=880/2
x=440 miles per hour.
substituting the value of x in one of the equations and solving for y we get:
440+y=490
y=490-440
y=50 miles per hour

Given the cost function C(x) = 0.81x + 60, 420 and the revenue function R(x) = 1.87x, find the break-even point
Viktor [21]

Answer:

x = 57,542.8571

Step-by-step explanation:

C(x) = 0.81x + 60,420

R(x) = 1.87x

At break even point, Cost function and revenue function becomes equal.

-> C(x) = R(x)

-> 0.81x + 60,420 = 1.87x

-> 60420 = 1.87x - 0.82x

-> 60420 = 1.05x

-> x = 60420/1.05

-> x = 57,542.8571

Thus, at break even point x = 57,542.8571

Members of a lacrosse team raised $1352.50 to go to a tournament. They rented a bus for $802.50 and budgeted $25 per player for
Alecsey [184]

Answer: 22

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question the, we are informed that members of a lacrosse team raised $1352.50 to go to a tournament and that they rented a bus for $802.50 and budgeted $25 per player for meals.

The equation which can be used to determine p, the number of players the team can bring to the tournament would be calculated as:

802.50 + 25p = 1352.50

25p = 1352.50 - 802.50

25p = 550

p = 550/25

p = 22

They can bring 22 players to the tournament
