A charity organization had a fundraiser where each ticket was sold for a fixed price $70. They had to sell a few tickets just to

cover necessary production costs. After selling 10 tickets, they were still at a net loss of $800(due to the production costs). Let p represent the net profit (in dollars)when they have sold n tickets

Answer:

p = 70n -1500

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of the equation is ...

p = 70n +b

We know that p = -800 for n = 10, so we can find b:

-800 = 70·10 +b

-800 -700 = b = -1500

The net profit equation is ...

p = 70n -1500

Nine yards of ribbon are cut into 8 equal pieces what is the length of each piece of ribbon. Write a division expression to repr

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

$x=\frac{9}{8}\ yards$

$x=1.125\ yards$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call x the length of each piece in yards

If the ribbon is cut into 8 equal pieces then the sum of the pieces is:

$x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x=8x$

Then:

$8x=9\ yards$

Now we solve the equation for x

$8x=9\ yards$

Divide both sides of equality by 8

$\frac{8}{8}x=\frac{9}{8}\ yards$

$x=\frac{9}{8}\ yards$

So the length of each piece is $\frac{9}{8}$ of a yard.

This is: 1.125 yards

Why might working with n a commission basis make dealing with finances more difficult?

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer: The commission is paid according to sales amounts that are likely to vary from month to month.

Step-by-step explanation: Instead of a salary that is paid in the same amount on a schedule, the commission may be very large one month and very small or zero at other times.

Financial planning usually includes monthly payments that and predictable expenses for food, transportation, utilities, etc. The person who earns a commission must remember to set aside some of the "extra" to cover these expenses. And be prepared to work more or harder at some times to make sales when they don't come easily.

Place the three functions in order from the fastest decreasing average rate of change to the slowest decreasing average rate of

victus00 [196]

Answer:

g(x), f(x) and h(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Interval: (0,3)

See attachment for functions f(x), g(x) and h(x)

Required

Order from fastest to slowest decreasing average rate of change

The average rate of change is calculated as:

$Rate = \frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a}$

In this case:

$(a,b) = (0,3)$

i.e.

$a = 0\\b=3$

For f(x)

$f(x) = 16(\frac{1}{2})^x$

$Rate = \frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a}$

$Rate = \frac{f(3) - f(0)}{3 - 0}$

$Rate = \frac{f(3) - f(0)}{3}$

Calculate f(3) and f(0)

$f(x) = 16(\frac{1}{2})^x$

$f(3) = 16(\frac{1}{2})^3 = 16 * \frac{1}{8} = 2$

$f(0) = 16(\frac{1}{2})^0 = 16 * 1 = 16$

So:

$Rate = \frac{f(3) - f(0)}{3}$

$Rate = \frac{2 - 16}{3}$

$Rate = -\frac{14}{3}$

For g(x)

$Rate = \frac{g(b) - g(a)}{b - a}$

$Rate = \frac{g(3) - g(0)}{3 - 0}$

$Rate = \frac{g(3) - g(0)}{3}$

From the table of g(x)

$g(3) = 1$

$g(1) = 27$

So:

$Rate = \frac{1 - 27}{3}$

$Rate = -\frac{26}{3}$

For h(x)

$Rate = \frac{h(b) - h(a)}{b - a}$

$Rate = \frac{h(3) - h(0)}{3 - 0}$

$Rate = \frac{h(3) - h(0)}{3}$

From the graph of h(x)

$h(3) = -3$

$h(0) = 4$

So:

$Rate = \frac{-3 - 4}{3}$

$Rate = -\frac{7}{3}$

So, the calculated rates of change are:

$f(x) = -\frac{14}{3}$ $= -4.67$

$g(x) = -\frac{26}{3}$ $=-8.67$

$h(x) = -\frac{7}{3}$ $=-2.33$

By comparison:

From the fastest decreasing to slowest, the order is: <em>g(x), f(x) and h(x)</em>
