A country will produce 3000 missiles this year. Each of the short-range missiles cost $200000 to produce. Each of the medium-ran

ge missiles cost $300,000 to produce. The ratio of the number of short-range to medium range to long-range missiles the country plans to produce this year is 3:3:4. The countries plans to use 870 million dollars to produce these missiles. How much does it cost to produce a long-range missile?

Answer:

$350,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define:

  • s: amount of short-range missiles produced
  • m: amount of medium-range missiles produced
  • l: amount of long-range missiles produced

From the total production and the ratios we can write the following equations:

s + m + l = 3000

s/m = 3/3 = 1 = m/s

s/l = 3/4 or l/s = 4/3

Dividing the first equation by s, we get:

s/s + m/s + l/s = 3000/s

1 + 1 + 4/3 = 3000/s

10/3 = 3000/s

s = 3000*3/10 = 900

m = 900

l =  4/3*900 = 1200

From the money that the countries plans to use and each missile cost, we can write the following equation:

200,000*s + 300,000*m + cost*l = 870,000,000

Replacing with previous result:

200,000*900 + 300,000*900 + cost*1200 = 870,000,000

cost = (870,000,000 - 200,000*900 - 300,000*900)/1200 = 350,000

Answer:

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

All computer simulations are designed to test a large number of different scenarios with various sets of data in order to understand each output that certain data generates and ultimately find the best solution. This is the overall main reason why simulations are created. The same applies in this scenario, this simulation will be used to test hypotheses about patterns in the job placement process that are costly or time-consuming to observe in reality. If such tests had to be conducted by actual people it would take months, years, or even decades to generate and analyze all the data.
