Find ing the common denominator would make it 10.
for 1/2 to get to 10 you have to multiply by 5
1/2x5= 5/10
then you have to convert 2/5 to get the denominator to be 10
so you multiply 2/5 by 2
2/5x2= 4/10
5/10 is greater than 4/10

1/2 = 50%
2/5 = 40%
50% is more than 40%

A group of retailers will buy 104 televisions from a wholesaler if the price is $300 and 144 if the price is $250. The wholesale
stepladder [879]

Answer:

The required equilibrium point is (356.538,58.769)

Step-by-step explanation:

The two points on your demand equation are : (300,104) and (250,144)

Take the number of televisions on y-axis and the price of the television on x-axis

Now, to find the demand equation for the given problem, find slope using the above two points :

\implies Slope=\frac{144-104}{250-300}\\\\\implies Slope = -\frac{4}{5}=-0.8

And the y - intercept is : y = -0.8x + b

Find the value of b using any point. Let us take (250,144)

144 = -0.8 × 250 + b

⇒ b = 144 + 200

⇒ b = 344

So, the y-intercept is : y = -0.8x + 344

The two points on your supply equation are : (225,88) and (315,68)

Take the number of televisions on y-axis and the price of the television on x-axis

Now, to find the supply equation for the given problem, find slope using the above two points :

\implies Slope=\frac{68-88}{315-225}\\\\\implies Slope = -\frac{2}{9}

And the y - intercept is :

y = -\frac{2}{9}x + b

Find the value of b using any point. Let us take (225,88)

88 = -\frac{2}{9}\times 225 + b\\\\\implies b = 88 + 50\\\\\implies b = 138

So, the y-intercept is :

y = -\frac{2}{9}x + 138

To find the equilibrium point, solve both the y-intercepts of the demand equation and the supply equation :

⇒ x = 356.538 and y = 58.769

Hence, the required equilibrium point is (356.538,58.769)

Angel bought 8 oranges and 11 apples for a total of $15.22.He knows that each orange cost $0.50 and reasoned that each Apple mus
Schach [20]
Oranges = x
apples = y

8x + 11y = 15.22
x = 0.50

8(0.50) + 11y = 15.22
4 + 11y = 15.22
11y = 15.22 - 4
11y = 11.22
y = 11.22/11
y = 1.02 <== cost of each apple
