A charter airline finds that on its Saturday flights from Philadelphia to London, all 120 seats will be sold if the ticket price

is $200. However, for each $3 increase in ticket price, the number of seats sold decreases by one.(a) Find a formula for the number of seats sold if the ticket price is P dollars.(b) Over a certain period, the number of seats sold for this flight ranged between 90 and 115. What was the corresponding range of ticket prices?

Answer:

a) P=3(120-s)+200

b) 215 \leq P \leq 290

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we can use a linear model to solve the problem.

s) Create an equation to express the increase on the price tickets and the number of seats sold

s number of seats, if w analyze the info given the number of seats after increase the price is given by 120-s.

And let P the price for the ticket. So after the increase in ticket price the expression for the increase is P-200.

We have an additional info, for each increase of $3 the number of setas decrease 1. And the equation that gives to us the price change in terms of the increase of price is:

P-200=3(120-s)

So then our linear equation is given by:

P=3(120-s)+200

b) Over a certain period, the number of seats sold for this flight ranged between 90 and 115. What was the corresponding range of ticket prices?

So for this case we just need to replace the limits into the linear equation and see what we got:

P_L=3(120-90)+200=290

P_U=3(120-115)+200=215

So the corresponding range of ticket prices is:

215 \leq P \leq 290

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

C: 51%

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a 60% that the weather is good and 85% of going to the concert so you multiply the two because of probability. 0.6 x 0.85 = 0.51

A tank initially contains 60 gallons of brine, with 30 pounds of salt in solution. Pure water runs into the tank at 3 gallons pe
adoni [48]

Answer:

the amount of time until 23 pounds of salt remain in the tank is 0.088 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The variation of the concentration of salt can be expressed as:

\frac{dC}{dt}=Ci*Qi-Co*Qo

being

C1: the concentration of salt in the inflow

Qi: the flow entering the tank

C2: the concentration leaving the tank (the same concentration that is in every part of the tank at that moment)

Qo: the flow going out of the tank.

With no salt in the inflow (C1=0), the equation can be reduced to

\frac{dC}{dt}=-Co*Qo

Rearranging the equation, it becomes

\frac{dC}{C}=-Qo*dt

Integrating both sides

\int\frac{dC}{C}=\int-Qo*dt\\ln(\abs{C})+x1=-Qo*t+x2\\ln(\abs{C})=-Qo*t+x\\C=exp^{-Qo*t+x}

It is known that the concentration at t=0 is 30 pounds in 60 gallons, so C(0) is 0.5 pounds/gallon.

C(0)=exp^{-Qo*0+x}=0.5\\exp^{x} =0.5\\x=ln(0.5)=-0.693\\

The final equation for the concentration of salt at any given time is

C=exp^{-3*t-0.693}

To answer how long it will be until there are 23 pounds of salt in the tank, we can use the last equation:

C=exp^{-3*t-0.693}\\(23/60)=exp^{-3*t-0.693}\\ln(23/60)=-3*t-0.693\\t=-\frac{ln(23/60)+0.693}{3}=-\frac{-0.959+0.693}{3}=  -\frac{-0.266}{3}=0.088
