Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The second crop size results in maximum revenue. The price per bushel of the second crop size is 3.54 dollars.

Step-by-step explanation: FIRST: Ensure all figures for price are in the same unit (same for quantity)

Hence, 10X cents = 0.1X dollars

SECOND:

Derive the equations for the new price and new quantity

P2 = P1 + 0.1X

Q2 = Q1 - (X% of Q1)

THIRD:

Input the values of Q1 and P1 into the equations

FOURTH:

To get X, equate P2 to Q2

P2 = Q2

From here, X = 11.4286

FIFTH:

Use this value of X to find the values of Q2 and P2 which will be 3.543 billion bushels and 3.54286 dollars respectively.

SIXTH:

The new revenue will now be 12.55 billion dollars which is obviously higher than the initial revenue of 9.6 billion dollars. Remember that R=P.Q

Revenue= Price x Quantity

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

  • Option c. $ 9,543.97

Explanation:

The row for month 25 shows that after <em>twenty-five payments</em> <u>the balance of the loan is  $10,356.03</u>

You are told that the<em> loan amount or principal is $ 19,900</em>.

From those two data, you can calculate <em>how much of the principal has been paid off after </em>25 months, because the amount paid off is equal to the loan less the balance after 25 payments:

  • Principal paid off = $ 19,900 - $ 10,356.03 = $9,543.97

I need help with this one please​

Answer: Dealership 4: he would pay $40.33

Step-by-step explanation: I used a calculator, so if you have 1/3 you put 1 divided by 3 in your calculator and right that down somewhere completely

Then, you divide $121 dollars by the number you got for 1 divided by 3 and then multiply it by 121 and should get 40.3333333333 but you round to the nearest tenth so it would by 40.33

1÷3= 0.33333333333

121×0.33333333333= 40.3333333333

A service station checks Mr. Gittleboro's radiator and finds it contains only 30% antifreeze. If the radiator holds 10 quarts an
Andrew [12]

Answer:

2.86 quarts ( approx )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The initial quantity of the Mr. Gittleboro's radiator that contains 30% antifreeze = 10 quarts,

Let x quarts of pure antifreeze replaced x quarts of Mr. Gittleboro's radiator to bring it up to a required 50% antifreeze,

So, the quantity of 30% antifreeze radiator after drained off x quarts = (10-x) quarts

Also, the quantity of final antifreeze radiator 50% antifreeze = 10 quarts

Thus, we can write,

30% of (10-x) + 100% of x = 50% of 10

30(10-x) + 100x = 500

300 - 30x + 100x = 500

300 + 70x = 500

70x = 200

x = 2.85714285714 quarts ≈ 2.86 quarts
