Eli and Samantha work at a dry cleaners ironing shirts. Eli can iron 20 shirts per hour, and Samantha can iron 35 shirts per hou

r. Samantha worked 2 more hours than Eli and they ironed 400 shirts between them. Write a system of equations that could be used to determine the number of hours Eli worked and the number of hours Samantha worked. Define the variables that you use to write the system

Answer:

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of hours Eli worked

y ----> the number of hours Samantha worked

we know that

Eli and they ironed 400 shirts between them

so

20x+35y=400 -----> equation A

Samantha worked 2 more hours than Eli

so

y=x+2 ----> equation B

solve the system by substitution

substitute equation B in equation A

20x+35(x+2)=400

solve for x

20x+35x+70=400\\55x=330\\x=6

Find the value of y

substitute the value of x in equation B

y=6+2=8

therefore

The number of hours Eli worked was 6 and the number of hours Samantha worked was 8

A travel agent currently has 80 people signed up for a tour. The price of a ticket is $5000 per person. The agency has chartered
Nikolay [14]
So hmm let's take a peek at the cost first

so, they chartered the plane for 150 folks with a fixed cost of 250,000
now, incidental fees are 300 per person, if we use the quantity "x", for how many folks, then if "x" persons are booked, then incidental fees are 300x

so, more than likely an insurance agency is charging them 300x for coverage

anyway, thus the cost C(x) = 250,000 + 300x

now, the Revenue R(x), is simple is jut price * quantity

well, the price, thus far we know is 5000 for 80 folks, but it can be lowered by 30 to get one more person, thus increasing profits

so... let's see what the price say y(x) is  \bf \begin{array}{ccllll}
quantity(x)&price(y)\\
-----&-----\\
80&5000\\
81&4970\\
82&4940\\
83&4910
\end{array}\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\

\bf \begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
%   (a,b)
&({{ 80}}\quad ,&{{ 5000}})\quad 
%   (c,d)
&({{ 83}}\quad ,&{{ 4910}})
\end{array}
\\\quad \\\\
% slope  = m
slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies 
\cfrac{{{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}}}{{{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}}}\implies \cfrac{-90}{3}\implies -30
\\ \quad \\\\
% point-slope intercept
y-{{ 5000}}={{ -30}}(x-{{ 80}})\implies y=-30x+2400+5000\\
\left.\qquad   \right. \uparrow\\
\textit{point-slope form}
\\\\\\
y=-30x+7400

so.. now we know y(x) = -30x+7400

now, Revenue is just price * quantity
the price y(x) is -30x+7400, the quantity is "x"

that simply means R(x) = -30x²+7400x


now, for the profit P(x)

the profit is simple, that is just incoming revenue minus costs, whatever is left, is profit
so P(x) = R(x) - C(x)

P(x) = (7400x - 30x²) - (250,000+300x)

P(x) = -30x² + 7100x - 250,000

now, where does it get maximized? namely, where's the maximum for P(x)?

well \bf \cfrac{dp}{dx}=-60x+7100

and as you can see, if you zero out the derivative, there's only 1 critical point, run a first-derivative test on it, to see if its a maximum

In science class, Logan estimates the volume of a sample to be 42 mL. The actual volume of the sample is 48 mL. Find the percent
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

Percent of error of Logan's Estimate is 12.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Actual Volume of sample =48 mL

Estimated Volume of sample = 42 mL

We need to find the percent errors of Logan estimate.

To calculate percent of error below are the steps.

Step 1: Subtract the Actual value from the estimated value.

Step 2: Take the absolute value of step 1

Step 3: Divide that answer by the Actual value.

Step 4: Multiply that answer by 100 and add the % symbol to express the answer as a percentage.

Now Substituting the values we get;

Step 1: To Subtract Actual Volume with Estimated Volume

Estimated Volume of sample - Actual Volume of sample = 42 - 48 = -6 mL

Step 2: Find Absolute value we get;

|-6| = 6

Step 3 : Divide that answer by the Actual volume.

\frac{6}{48}=0.125

Step 4: Multiply that answer by 100 and add the % symbol to express the answer as a percentage.

0.125\times 100 = 12.5\%

Hence Percent of error of Logan's Estimate is 12.5%
