Let <span>L </span>be the weight of a large box and S be the weight of a small box.  So we can set up two equations: 2L + 3S = 834L + 8S = 197 Solve for <span>L </span>or S in one of the equations and substitute it into the other equation and find the other unknown. 2L = 83 - 3SL = (83 - 3S)/2 4(83 - 3S)/2 + 8S = 197166 - 6S + 8S = 1972S = 31
S = 15.5 kg<span>
L = (83 - 3(15.5))/2 = 18.25 kg</span>

Set this up as a system of equations.  The first will be the 2 large boxes plus the 3 small boxes weigh 83 kg, the second will be the 4 large boxes plus the 8 small weigh 197 kg.  2L + 3s = 83  and   4L + 8s = 197.  Solve one of them for either variable.  Let's solve the second one for L:  L = -2s + 49.25.  Sub that value of L into the first equation: 2(-2s + 49.25) + 3s = 83.  Distribute through the parenthesis to get -4s + 98.5 + 3s = 83.  Combine like terms to get -s =-15.5.  or s = 15.5.  So a small box weights 15.5 kg.  A large box is -2(15.5) + 49.5, which is 18.5 kg.

Help please mathematics 22 -24
Pavel [41]

Answer:  (22) $9,075     (23) $656.25      (24) $217.13

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Cost Function: C(x) = 5.75x + 8,000

              C(10,000) = 5.75(10,000) + 8,000

                                = 57,500     + 8,000

                                = 65,500

Revenue Function: R(x) = 9.50x

                        R(7,850) = 9.50(7,850)

                                       =    74,575

Profit Function: P(x) = R(x) - C(x)

                                 = 74,575 - 65,500

                                 = 9,075

*****************************************************************************

Retail = Unit Cost + Unit Cost × Markup

         =     $375    +         $375 × .75

         =     $375    +           $281.25

         =     $656.25

*****************************************************************************

$225 but if paid within 10 days there is a 3.5% discount

Discount = $225 - $225 × .035

               =  $225 -     $7.88

               =  $217.13
