Question

The equation y=0.002x-0.20 can be used to determine the approximate profit,y in dollars,of producing x items.solve for x. How many times must be produced so the profit will be$3933?

Answer 1

Answer:

1966600 items must be produced in other to profit $3933

Step-by-step explanation:

from the equation y = 0.002x -0.20

where y is the profit in dollars

and x is the number of items

then to get the number of item to be produced in other to profit $3933 ?

will be by substituting $3933 for y in the equation and solving for x,

     3933 = 0.002x - 0.20

Firstly you will add 0.20 to both sides, which will be

      3933 + 0.20 = 0.002x - 0.20 + 0.20

       3933.20 = 0.002x

then we will divide both sides by 0.002

     3933.20 / 0.002 = 0.002x / 0.002

therefore, x = 1966600
