Answer:

1) Consider that he makes $1189 every two weeks engaged with work

2) An estimate of the opportunity cost of going on the fishing trip is $1450 in two weeks

3). If he decides to buy the truck, he has to work for about 7 weeks before going on the fishing trip

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given data

Total revenue from lawn mowing per year = 35 × 4× 5×20 = $1400

Similarly total operating costs = $2110

Total profit per annum = $11890

However total revenue per every 2 weeks = $1189

To buy the truck, sell his and go on the fishing trip it will cost = 5200-1500+250 =$3950 hence he has to work for about 6.64 or approximately 7 weeks before going on the fishing trip

2) Opportunity cost will factor in the cost of having someone work for him while away

The cost is = $250 + $120/day

Hence in two weeks it will cost him $1450

3) He has to work for about 7 weeks to be able to afford the truck

70=(4x+36)/2 figure this out please
adell [148]

Answer:

\boxed{\bold{\huge{\boxed{x = 26}}}}

Step-by-step explanation:

70 = \frac{4x+36}{2}

<u>Multiplying both sides by 2</u>

70 * 2 = 4x+36

140 = 4x+36

<u>Subtracting 36 to both sides</u>

140 - 36 = 4x

104 = 4x

<u>Dividing both sides by 4</u>

26 = x

OR

x = 26
