A company is selling books. It has to pay $500 to start printing the books, and once they have done that, the books sell at $14.99 each. How many books must they sell to make a profit?
First we would model an equation. X will be the amount of books sold, and Y will be profits (in dollars obv). They had to pay $500 before they could start selling, so we must account for that too.
This equation would be
because for every book sold, X increases by 1, increasing Y by 14.99
The answer would be 34 books sold in order to turn a profit. (500/14.99=
The perimeter of the park is (125+150)*2=550 yards. Then, to walk a million years, you would need to walk 1000000/550=1818.18 perimeters. Since we're looking for the amount of times we have to walk around the park fully to hit 1,000,000 yards, though, we must round up (even though normally with a decimal of .18 we'd round down) to 1819 times.
Answer:
To solve this problem, you would create two ratios and make them equal to each other, both representing laps:minute or laps/minute! With that being said, laps will be in the numerator, or on top, and minutes will be in the denominator, or the bottom! The first ratio, which we know from the problem, will be 5/8. In order to write the second ratio, we need to come up with something to put in place for what we're solving for. I like to use x. So, we need to find how many laps (x) are run in 1 minute. Remember, laps are on top and minutes are on the bottom. The second ratio would look like x/1. Then we make them equal to each other -> 5/8=x/1. You would then solve this equation by multiplying the right side of the equation by the reciprocal of the denominator! So, it would be 1/1(5/8)=x. Because then multiple the numerators and the denominators -> 1(5)=5 and 1(8)=8! This makes the equation turn into x=5/8! Because x equals the number of laps run in one minute, we can say that Ricky ran 5/8 of a lap in one minute or 0.625 laps in one minute!
Step-by-step explanation:
First you need to know how many pounds of carbon dioxide you get when burning 1 gallon of gasoline. That number is 19.64 pounds
To get the number of pounds released when entire tank is burned you need to multiply gas tank volume and number of pounds you get when 1 gallon is burned.
17.2 * 19.64 = 337.808
Answer:
1287.48 km
Step-by-step explanation:
80 miles = 128.748 km
Putting in 'x' for distance
x = 80*10
x = 800 miles
or
x = 1287.48 km
