For example a stands for the number of adult tickets, and s stands for the number of student tickets.

Write a system of equation based on the problem
An equation for "<span>A total of 679 tickets were sold for the school play"
</span>∴ a + s = 679 <em>(first equation)</em>
An equation for "<span>there were 71 fewer student tickets sold than adult tickets"
</span>∴ s = a - 71 <em>(second equation)</em>
<span>
Find the solution of the system
Subtitute s with a - 71 in the first equation to find the value of a
a + s = 679
a + a - 71 = 679
2a - 71 = 679
2a = 679 + 71
2a = 750
  a = 750/2
  a = 375
The number of adult tickets sold is 375</span>

A company that manufactures guitars has a fixed cost of $100,000. It costs $100 to produce each guitar and the selling price is
miv72 [106K]

a. Write the cost function:: C(x) = 100x + 100,000 where x is number of guitars

---------------------------------

b. Write the revenue function:: R(x) = 300x where x is number of guitars

-----------------------

c. Find the profit function.

Profit = Revenue - Cost

P(x) = R(x) - C(x)

P(x) = [ R(x) ] - [ C(x) ]

P(x) = [ 300x ] - [ 100x+100,000 ]

P(x) = 300x - 100x-100,000

P(x) = 200x - 100,000

The break even point is when the profit is 0 dollars. You don't lose any money. And you don't gain any money.

Solve 125x - 100,000 = 0

125x = 100,000

x = 800 (# of guitars made and sold)

Step-by-step explanation:

Its determination of inventory amounts for various products. Its demand is an excellent illustration of a dynamic optimization model used in my businesses. Throughout this case, its store has restrictions within this room are limited. There are only 100 bottles of beverages to be sold, for instance, so there is a market restriction that no one can sell upwards of 50 plastic cups, 30 power beverages, and 40 nutritional cokes. Throughout this situation, these goods, even the maximum quantity supplied is 30, 18, and 28. The profit for each unit is $1, $1.4, and $0.8, etc. With each form of soft drink to also be calculated, a linear extra value is thus necessary.
