Answer:

14

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Steve  invests in a circus production. The cost includes an overhead of $84,000, plus production costs of $2000 per performance. A sold-out performance brings in $8000.

Sales per performance =8000

Production cost per performance =2000

Contribution per performance = 8000-2000=6000

Overhead costs = 84000

Break even units = overhead cost/contribution per performance

= \frac{84000}{6000} \\=14

14 performances should be done to break even

Aiden borrows a book from a public library. He read a few pages on day one. On day two, he reads twice the number of pages than
Fofino [41]

Let the number of pages read on day 1 be = x

Then on day 2 he read twice the pages from day one, it is = 2x

On 3rd day he read 6 pages less than 1st day, it is = x-6

Total pages are = 458

The equation becomes: x+2x+x-6=458

4x-6=458

4x=464

x=116

So on the third day, Aiden read x-6=116-6=110 pages.

What is the equivalent decimal to this fraction? 10/45 0.2 0.222222222... 0.232323232323... 0.181818181818...​
Ivan

Factorize the numerator and denominator, then simplify:

10/45 = (2×5)/(9×5) = 2/9

Now,

1/9 = 1/10 + 1/90

1/90 = 1/10 × 1/9 = 1/10 × (1/10 + 1/90) = 1/100 + 1/900

1/900 = 1/100 × 1/9 = 1/100 × (1/10 + 1/90) = 1/1000 + 1/9000

and so on, which is to say

1/9 = 1/10 + 1/100 + 1/1000 + …

or

1/9 = 0.111…

so that multiplying both sides by 2 gives

2/9 = 0.222…

A supply company manufactures copy machines. The unit cost C (the cost in dollars to make each copy machine) depends on the numb
Ugo [173]
To answer this item, we take the differential of the equation and equate to zero.
 
                  C(x) = 0.8x² - 256x + 25939

Differentiation,
                dC(x) = 1.6x - 256 
                 dC(x) = 1.6x - 256 = 0

The value of x from the derived equation above is 160. 

Thus, the number of machine to be made in order to minimize the cost should be 160.
