Best Brands Appliance Mart is getting ready for its annual Labor Day sale. There are two Best Brands stores, one in midtown Manh

jasenka [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

Assuming we represent x to be the tablets sent from Brooklyn to Manhattan

Thus, (500 - x) to be the tablets sent from Baldwin to Manhattan

Also, suppose we represent y to be the tablets sent from Brooklyn to Amityville

It implies that (400 - x) to be the tablets sent from Baldwin to Amityville

∴

x ≥ 0 ; y ≥ 0

⇒ 500 - x ≥ 0 & 400 - y ≥ 0

The Shipping cost Z = 1(x) + 2(500-x) + 2(y) + 4(400-y)

Z = x + 1000 - 2x + 2y + 1600 - 4y

Z = x -2y + 2600

To minimize the shipping cost:

$\left \{ 500-x \geq 0 \ \implies \ x\leq 500}} \atop {400-y \geq 0 \ \implies \ y\leq 400}} \right.$

Thus, by replacing the coordinate values (x,y) into Z, we have:

Point Coordinates(x,y) Value of Z (shipping cost)

0 (0,0) 0

A (0,400) 1800

B (500,400) 1300

C (500,0) 2100

Hence, the minimum cost is 1300.

x = 500 units and y = 400 units

On April 1, 2018, John Vaughn purchased appliances from the Acme Appliance Company for $1,200. In order to increase sales, Acme

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

The monthly payment necessary for John to pay for his purchases is $88.4 per month

Explanation:

Fixed Installment payment for a fixed period period of time with a specified interest rate is the type of annuity.

According to given data

Present value of appliance= PV = $1,200

Numbers of Payments = n = 18 months

Interest rate = r = 24% annually = 2% monthly

Value on October 1, 2018 = 1200 x ( 1 + 2%)^6-1 = 1,325

Monthly payment can be calculated by using following fomula

PV of annuity = P x [ ( 1- ( 1+ r )^-n ) / r ]

$1,325 = P x [ ( 1- ( 1+ 2% )^-18 ) / 2% ]

$1,325 = P x [ ( 1- ( 1+ 0.02 )^-18 ) / 0.02 ]

$1,325 = P x [ ( 1- ( 1.02 )^-18 ) / 0.02 ]

$1,325 = P x 14.992

P = $1,325 / 14.992

P = $88.4

Write a ratio for the situation in three ways, comparing the first quantity to the second quantity. a zoo has 14 monkeys and 18

elixir [45]

Answer:

1)14 to 28

14:28

14/28

2) 1 to 9

1:9

1/9

3) 3 equivalent ratios are : 2/18,1/9, 3/27

4) On this case would be 12/36 and if we divide numerator and denominator by 6 we got 2/6, and if we divide by 2 we got 1/3 simplified

Explanation:

Previous concepts

A ratio represent "the relative sizes of two or more values."

"Ratios can be shown in different ways:

• using the ":" to separate example values

• using the "/" to separate one value from the total

• as a decimal, after dividing one value by the total

• as a percentage, after dividing one value by the total"

Part 1

14 monkeys and 18 chimpanzees.

And we need to write the situation in 3 ways comapring the first quantity to the second quantity, and the correct way to do this is:

14 to 28

14:28

14/28

Part 2

In largo city, about one in every nine homes contains four televisions

And we need to write the situation in 3 ways comapring the first quantity to the second quantity, and the correct way to do this is:

1 to 9

1:9

1/9

Part 3

Write three ratios equal to 4/36

On this case is we divide numerator and denominator by 2 we got 2/18

And if we divide the numerator and denominator by 4 we got 1/9

and if we divide the numerator and denominator by 4 and then we multiply by 3 we got 3/27

So then 3 equivalent ratios are : 2/18,1/9, 3/27

Part 4

Jake sold 36 tickets to the school fair Jeanne sold 12 tickets. What is the ratio, in simplest form, of the number of tickets Jeanne sold to the number of tickets Jake sold?

On this case would be 12/36 and if we divide numerator and denominator by 6 we got 2/6, and if we divide by 2 we got 1/3 simplified
