Answer:

22.5

Step-by-step explanation:

What you need to do is calculate the volume of the Box. With the box being the volume of the piramid added to the prism surrounding the box with volume 15.

If you want to calculate it yourself stop reading here, because I will work it out now.

Volume box = a*b*c

Volume prism = 15

Volume pyramid = (b * c * a)/3

The prism has the volume of the box minus the pyramid so

abc - (abc)/3 = 15

abc - (1/3)abc = 15

(2/3)abc = 15

abc = 22.5

So 22.5 is the volume of the figure

A baker buys 19 apples of two different varieties to make pies. The total cost of the apples is $5.10. Granny Smith apples cost

Natasha2012 [34]

The baker bought 7 gala apples, and 12 granny smiths apples

Solution:

Let "x" be the number of gala apples bought

Let "y" be the number of granny smith apples bought

Cost of 1 gala apple = $ 0.30

Cost of 1 granny smith apple = $ 0.25

A baker buys 19 apples of two different varieties to make pies

Therefore,

number of gala apples bought + number of granny smith apples bought = 19

x + y = 19 --------- eqn 1

The total cost of the apples is $5.10

Therefore, we can frame a equation as:

number of gala apples bought x Cost of 1 gala apple + number of granny smith apples bought x Cost of 1 granny smith apple = 5.10

$x \times 0.30 + y \times 0.25 = 5.10$

0.3x + 0.25y = 5.1 -------- eqn 2

Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2

From eqn 1,

x = 19 - y ---------- eqn 3

Substitute eqn 3 in eqn 2

0.3(19 - y) + 0.25y = 5.1

5.7 - 0.3y + 0.25y = 5.1

5.7 - 0.05y = 5.1

0.05y = 5.7 - 5.1

0.05y = 0.6

y = 12

Substitute y = 12 in eqn 3

x = 19 - 12

x = 7

Thus the baker bought 7 gala apples, and 12 granny smiths apples

Suppose that a factory manufactures only tables and chairs and that the profit on one chair is $15 and on the table is $20. Each

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

The data we have is:

Profit per chair = $15

Profit per table = $20

Chair needs: 1 large pice, 2 small pieces.

Table needs: 2 large pieces, 2 small pieces.

You have 6 large pieces and 8 small pieces, and you want to maximize the profit.

Let's define:

T = # of tables

C = # of chairs.

Total profit:

P = C*$15 + M*$20

The number of chairs that you can make is given by:

0 ≤ C ≤ 4

If you make 4 chairs, the profit is:

P = 4*$15 = $60

And there will be 2 large pieces left.

Now for the tables.

0 ≤ T ≤ 3

If you make 4 tables, the profit will be:

P = 3*$20 = $60 (same as before)

And there will be two small pieces left.

Then we want to use a medium number of tables and chairs, we can not use the maximum for any of those, the first thing we should try is:

we ideally would want to use all the pieces that we have.

8 small, 6 large:

Then we can make:

2 tables: we use 4 large pieces and 4 small pieces.

T = 2

And we have left 2 large pieces and 4 small pieces.

The leftover is enough to make two chairs.

C = 2.

In this case, where we used all our materials, the profit will be:

P = 2*$15 + 2*$20 = $30 + $40 = $70

The profit is maximized when we make 2 tables and two chairs.
