A factory sells backpacks for $40 each. The cost to make 1 backpack is $10.00. In addition to the costs of making backpacks, the

factory has operating expenses of $12,000 per week. The factory’s goal is to make a profit of at least $980 each week. What is the inequality for the number of backpacks ,x, that need to be sold each week for the factory to meet this goal? How many backpacks must the factory sell to meet its weekly goal? Also give a statement.

980= (40-10)x - 12000= amount of PROFIT
12,980 = 30x; divide both sides by 30; and you get x=432.67
So the company would need to sell at least 433 backpacks to make a profit of at least 980 per week

Answer: x (40-10) -12000≥980

The factory must sell 433 backpacks to meet its weekly goal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write an inequality.

So, since the backpacks (x) are sold by $40 and the cost of making one is $10, the revenue per bag is equal to 40x and the cost is 10x.

12,000 of operating expenses are also expenses.

So, for the profit:

<em>Profit = revenue- cost </em>

P = 40x-10x-12,000

P = x (40-10)-12000

The factory goal is to make a profit of at least $980 each week, so, the profit must be greater or equal than 980.

x (40-10) -12000≥980

Solving for x

30x-12000≥980

30x≥980+12000

30x ≥12980

x≥12980/30

x≥432.6

x≥433 (rounded, because if the sell 432 they will not meet the goal)

The factory must sell 433 backpacks to meet its weekly goal.

Solve the equation algebraically for all values of X
noname [10]
This is a problem you need to solve using logs. When you use logs you can "pull" the exponents down in front of the log to get a new equation that looks like this: 2x^3 + x^2 log 81 = 6x - 3 log 27. Now divide both sides by log 81 and 6x - 3 simultaneously to get (2x^3 + x^2)/(6x - 3) = (log 27)/(log 81). If you do the log math on the right side you get .75. Now multiply both sides by 6x-3 to get 2x^3+x^2 = .75(6x-3). If you distribute that out on the left side you'll get 2x^3+x^2=4.5x-2.25. Now move everything over to the left side and set the whole thing equal to 0: 2x^3+x^2-4.5x+2.25=0. When you solve for x, you are in essence factoring, so do this by grouping: x^2(2x+1)-2.25(2x+1). Now finally factor out the 2x+1 to get (2x+1)(x^2-2.25). You're not done yet though cuz you need to solve each of those for x: 2x+1=0, and x= -1/2; x^2=2.25, and x=+/- 1.5. So all the values for x here are -1/2, 1.5, and -1.5

Solve 11sinθ-2=2 for a value of θ when 0≤θ≤π/2.? How do you solve the second problem?
Sergio [31]
5cos (2x)+7=cos (2x)+8, 4cos (2x)=1, cos (2x)=1/4, 2x=arccos(1/4), x=(1/2)arccos (1/4). I used x instead of theta, and arccos is cos inverse

What is the difference between 126 1/4 an 78 2/3
Vaselesa [24]
1) find the lcd the lcd is 12
2)rewrite  the fractions 1/4 and 2/3 using 12 as the denominator (second column) you get 3/12 and 8/12
3) since its confusing to subtract 8/12 from 3/12 you need to borrow one form the 126 doing so is the same as taking 12/12 from 126 this change to 125 and the 12/12 adds to the 3/12 making it 15/12
4) subtract 8/12 form 15/12 to get 7/12
5) subtract 78 form 125 to get 47
6) the answer is 47 7/12
