A) .10d + .25q = 5.45
B) d + q = 29
Multiplying equation B by -.1
B) -.1d -.1q = -2.9 Then adding it to A
A) .10d +.25q =5.45

.15q = 2.55
q = 17
d = 12
12 dimes and 17 quarters

12 dimes = 1.20 plus 17 quarters = 4.25 TOTAL = 5.45
12 and 17 = 29 coins

Answer:

You showed the right work and got the right answer!

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Since B is in the middle of A and C, AB + BC = AC

So,

2x - 11 + 8 = x + 3

x - 3 = 3

x = 6

The parking spaces in a city lot were created by painting rows of parallel line segments, then painting a line that cuts through

the answer is 65 degrees because the line in the middle is a 180 degree angle and 180-115=65. hope this helps :)

Answer:

The maximum revenue is 16000 dollars (at p = 40)

Step-by-step explanation:

One way to find the maximum value is derivatives. The first derivative is used to find where the slope of function will be zero.

Given function is:

$R(p) = -10p^2+800p$

Taking derivative wrt p

$\frac{d}{dp} (R(p) = \frac{d}{dp} (-10p^2+800p)\\R'(p) = -10 \frac{d}{dp} (p^2) +800 \ frac{d}{dp}(p)\\R'(p) = -10 (2p) +800(1)\\R'(p) = -20p+800\\$

Now putting R'(p) = 0

$-20p+800 = 0\\-20p = -800\\\frac{-20p}{-20} = \frac{-800}{-20}\\p = 40$

As p is is positive and the second derivative is -20, the function will have maximum value at p = 40

Putting p=40 in function

$R(40) = -10(40)^2 +800(40)\\= -10(1600) + 32000\\=-16000+32000\\=16000$

The maximum revenue is 16000 dollars (at p = 40)
