Answer:

The labor fee is $14.25, each quart of oil costs $2.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $x be thee price of each quart of oil and $y be a flat fee for labor.

1. If the oil change for one car required 5 quarts of oil, then these 5 quarts cost $5x and together with a flat fee for labor it cost $25.50. Thus,

5x+y=25.50.

2. If the oil change for another car required 7 quarts of oil, then these 7 quarts cost $7x and together with a flat fee for labor it cost $30.00. Thus,

7x+y=30.00.

3. Subtract from the second equation the first one, then

7x+y-(5x+y)=30.00-25.50,\\ \\7x+y-5x-y=4.50,\\ \\2x=4.50,\\ \\x=\$2.25.

Substitute it into the first equation:

5\cdot 2.25+y=25.50,\\ \\y=25.50-11.25,\\ \\y=\$14.25.

The labor fee is $14.25, each quart of oil costs $2.25.

La barbería El Caleño, tiene en promedio 120 clientes a la semana a
Luba_88 [7]

Queremos maximizar el precio de tal forma que los ingresos no disminuyan.

Ese maximo precio es: $14,040.6

Sabemos que actualmente el precio es:

p = $6,000

El número de clientes es:

C = 120

Actualmente los ingresos son el producto de esos dos números, es decir:

ingresos = $6,000*120 = $720,000

Ahora sabemos que por cada incremento de $700 en el precio, el número de clientes decrece en 10.

Entonces podemos escribir el número de clientes como una ecuación lineal.

C(p) = a*p + b

tal que tenemos dos puntos en esa linea:

($6,000, 120)

($6,700, 110)

La pendiente es:

a = \frac{110 - 120}{\$6,700 - \$6,000} = \frac{-10}{\$ 700}

Entonces tenemos:

C(p) = (-10/$700)*p + b

Sabemos que:

C($6,000) = 120 = (-10/$700)*$6,000 + b

                     120 = -85.71 + b

                     120 + 85.71 = b =

Entonces la ecuación lineal es:

C(p) = (-10/$700)*p + 205.71

Los ingresos serán dados por:

ingresos = C(p)*p = (-10/$700)*p^2 + 205.71*p

Y queremos maximizar p de tal forma que esto sea igual a lo que obtuvimos antes:

(-10/$700)*p^2 + 205.71*p = $720,000

Entonces debemos resolver la ecuación cuadratica:

(-10/$700)*p^2 + 205.71*p - $720,000 = 0.

Las soluciones son dadas por la formula de Bhaskara.

p = \frac{-205.71 \pm \sqrt{(205.71)^2 - 4*(-10/\$ 700)*\$ 720,000} }{2*(-10/\$ 700)} \\\\p = \frac{-205.71 \pm 195.45}{(-20/\$ 700)}

La solución de maximo valor es:

p = (-205.71 - 195.45)/(-20/$700) = $14,040.6

A school is organizing a cookout where hotdogs will be served. The hotdogs come in small packs and large packs. Each small pack
Bond [772]

The number of small packs is 2 and the number of large packs is 7

Step-by-step explanation:

A school is organizing a cookout where hot dogs will be served. The hot dogs come in small packs and large packs

  • Each small pack has 8 hot dogs
  • Each large pack has 18 hot dogs
  • The school bought 5 more large packs than small packs, which altogether had 142 hot dogs

We need to find the number of small packs purchased and the number of large packs purchased

Assume that the number of the small packs is x and the number of the large pack is y

∵ There are x small packs

∵ Each small pack has 8 hot dogs

∵ There are y large packs

∵ Each large pack has 18 hot dogs

∴ The total number of hot dogs in all packs = 8x + 18y

∵ All packs had 142 hot dogs

- Equate the total number of hot doges by 142

∴ 8x + 18y = 142 ⇒ (1)

∵ The school bought 5 more large packs than small packs

∴ y = x + 5 ⇒ (2)

Now we have system of equations to solve it

Substitute y in equation (1) by equation (2)

∴ 8x + 18(x + 5) = 142

- Simplify the left hand side

∴ 8x + 18x + 90 = 142

- Add like terms in the left hand side

∴ 26x + 90 = 142

- Subtract 90 from both sides

∴ 26x = 52

- Divide both sides by 26

∴ x = 2

- Substitute the value of x in equation (2) to find y

∵ y = 2 + 5

∴ y = 7

The number of small packs is 2 and the number of large packs is 7

The radius of a certain molecule is about 1.21.2 angstroms. One angstrom is 0.000000010.00000001 cm. What is the diameter of thi
Ad libitum [116K]
Ok the diameter would be 0.000000024cm 

because 1.2 x 0.00000001 = 0.000000012 

that is the radius so we multiply by 2 to get the diameter 

0.000000012 x 2 = 0.000000024
