Rick gave his son $100 to buy food and drinks. His son returned with $25.50 in change. Therefore the amount spent was
$100 - $25.50 = $74.50.

Let
x = number of hot dogs bought (at $3.50 per hot dog).
y = number of milk shakes bought (at $8 per milk shake).
There were 8 orders of soda at $5 per soda.

The total order is $74.50, therefore
3.50x + 8y + 8*5 = 74.50
Simplify to obtain
8y = 74.5 - 3.5x
  y = 4.3125 - 0.4375x

We must have whole numbers (integers) for x and y.
Create a table that varies x from 0 to 8, and look for y to be an integer, as shown below.

  x       y
---  -------
 0   4.3125
 1    3.8750
 2   3.4375
 3   3
 4   2.5625
 5   2.1250
 6   1.6875
 7    1.2500
 8    0.8125

Because we cannot have fractional values for either x or y, the solution is x=3, y=3

Answer:
3 hot dogs, 3 milk shakes, and 8 sodas.

amid [387]

Answer:

The value of the stock at the given discount rate is $9.5

Explanation:

Here, we are interested in calculating the value of the stock at the given discount rate.

To do this, we employ a mathematical formula;

Value of the stock = Expected dividend ÷ (discount rate-growth rate)

According to the question, we identify the following;

Expected dividend = $1.58

Growth rate(negative) = -1.15% = -1.15/100 = -0.0115

Discount rate = 15.5% = 15.5/100 = 0.155

Plugging these values into the equation, we have;

Value of the stock = 1.58 ÷ (0.155 - (-0.0115)

Value of the stock = 1.58/(0.155 + 0.0115)

Value of the stock = 1.58/0.1665 = $9.5

charle [14.2K]

Answer:

$71.5

Explanation:

Inventory forecast is a way of predicting the volume of inventory required to fulfill future orders based on the existing production capacity and other plans relating to production

equation for forecasting inventory = $22 + 0.125 sales

Current sales = $300 million

Annual sales growth rate =32%

sales for next year = 300 + (300*32%)

300 + 96= $396 million

Applying the equation

Inventory = $22 + (0.125*396)

$22 + $49.5 = $71.5 million
