Answer:
the function is increasing from x-2
7/4 is the answer to your question
Lily made $75.36 more than Layla did. If Layla raised her price to $1.00, she would still not make more money than Lily.
Use a proportion to find the number of cupcakes Lily makes in 8 hours. She bakes 7 cupcakes in 10 minutes; we want to know how many she makes in 8(60)=480 (since there are 8 hours and each hour is 60 minutes):
7/10 = x/480
Cross multiply:
7*480 = 10*x
3360 = 10x
Divide both sides by 10:
3360/10 = 10x/10
336 = x
Lily bakes 336 cupcakes.
She sells 2/3 of these; 2/3(336) = 2/3(336/1) = 672/3 = 224 cupcakes sold.
Each cupcake is sold for $1.29; 224(1.29) = 288.96
To find the number of cupcakes Layla makes in 8 hours, we set up a different proportion. We know she bakes 8 cupcakes in 12 minutes; we want to know how many she bakes in 8(60) = 480 minutes:
8/12 = x/480
8*480 = 12*x
3840 = 12x
Divide both sides by 12:
3840/12 = 12x/12
320 = x
She bakes 320 cupcakes. She sells 75% of those; 75% = 75/100 = 0.75:
0.75(320) = 240
Each of those 240 cupcakes sells for $0.89:
0.89(240) = 213.60
This means Lily makes 288.96-213.60 = 75.36 more than Layla.
If Layla raised her price to $1.00, she would make 1(240) = $240; this is still less than Lily.
