The way you find profit is to subtract the revenue and the cost
Profit = Revenue - Cost
The revenue is the amount of money coming in, the cost is the amount of money going out. The goal of course is to have the revenue larger than the cost so that the profit is positive.
So the equation given is
P = 7.5n - (2.25n+15)
and its in the form
P = R - C
where...
R = 7.5n is the revenue equation
C = 2.25n+15 is the cost equation
Focus on the revenue equation
R = 7.5n
which is the same as
R = 7.50*n
This tells us that Sandra pulls in a total of 7.50*n dollars where n is some positive whole number. It represents the number of necklaces sold. For example, if she sold n = 10 necklaces, then
R = 7.50*n
R = 7.50*10
R = 750
meaning that Sandra has made $750 in revenue
As you can see above, the revenue is computed by multiplying the price per necklace ($7.50) by the number of necklaces sold (n) to get R = 7.50*n
So that's why the answer is $7.50
Note: The 2.25 is part of the cost equation. This is known as the variable cost. It is the cost to make one necklace ignoring the fixed cost (eg: rent). The variable cost often doesn't stay the same, but algebra textbooks often simplify this aspect.
Answer:
1.88
Step-by-step explanation:
A farmer sells 9.4 kilograms of pears and apples
4/5 of the total weight is pears while the rest is apple
Let x represent the number of apples
9.4= 4/5 ×9.4 + x
9.4 = 0.8×9.4+x
9.4 = 7.52+ x
9.4-7.52= x
1.88= x
x= 1.88
Answer:
The race must be up to 29 meters for Dhvan to win.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since Shaan walks 2.5 meters per second, while his brother Dhvan walks 1 meter per second, and Dhvan wants to have a race, and Shaan knows that he walks faster, but he wants to give his brother a head start of 45 meters, so it doesn't seem that he is allowing him to win, to determine how many meters long should the race be in order for Dhvan to win the following calculation must be performed:
45 / (2.5 - 1) = X
45 / 1.5 = X
30 = X
Therefore, the race must be up to 29 meters for Dhvan to win.
To convert a mixed fraction into an improper fraction, we must follow some steps.
First, we take the whole part and multiply it by the denominator of the fraction.
In this case, we take 2 and multiply it by 8.
Now we add the numerator:
16+3=19
The denominator stays the same:
Hope it helps! :)
