We know that:

Profit = Revenue - Cost

Let us say x number of candies are made per week.

Finding Cost per week:

Cost of making 1 bar = 0.15

Cost of making x bars = 0.15x

Fixed rate of making candies per week = 600

Total cost of making x candies per week = 600 + 0.15x

Now let us find Revenue:

Selling price of each bar = 1.50

Selling price of x bars = 1.50x

Now we have to find profit,

Profit = Revenue - Cost

In order to have profit Revenue - Cost >0

So plugging values of revenue and cost to get number of candies,

1.50x-(0.15x+600)>0

1.50x-0.15x-600>0

1.35x-600>0

1.35x>600

x>444.44

Rounding off

x>444

Answer: The company must sell greater than 444 candies in order to make profit.

the length of a rectangle exceeds its width by 17 inches, and the area is 18 square inches. what are the length and width of the
dimaraw [331]

The length and width of the rectangle are 18 in and 1 in, respectively.

<h3>Quadrilaterals</h3>

There are different types of quadrilaterals, for example, square, rectangle, rhombus, trapezoid, and parallelogram.  Each type is defined accordingly to its length of sides and angles. For example, in a rectangle,  the opposite sides are equal and parallel and their interior angles are equal to 90°.

The area of a rectangle can be found for the formula : b*h, where b = base and h =height.

For this question, the length exceeds its width by 17 inches - L=W+17. Here, the length is the base and the width is the height. Thus,  from the value of area given, you can find the values of the length and width of the rectangle.

A=b*h

18=(W+17)*W

18=W²+17W

W²+17W-18=0

Solving this quadratic equation, you have:

w_{1,\:2}=\frac{-17\pm \sqrt{17^2-4\cdot \:1\cdot \left(-18\right)}}{2\cdot \:1}

w_{1,\:2}=\frac{-17\pm \:19}{2\cdot \:1}

w1=1 and w2= -18

For dimensions, only positive numbers must be used. Then, the width is equal to 1 inch.

As, the area (l*w) is 18 in², see.

18=l*w

18=l*1

l=18 in

The cheapest available ticket for Super Bowl Ll on the secondary market costs
drek231 [11]

Answer:

He must work 52 days to pay for a single ticket.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved using proportions.

Per hour:

Joel earns $7.25 per hour, 20% of which is deducted for taxes. So without taxes, in each hour, he earns 100%-20% of 80% of this, so 0.8*7.25 = $5.8.

Per day:

He works 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day, so 8 hours a day.

For each hour, he earns $5.8.

So in a day, he makes 8*5.8 = $46.4

How many days he must work:

The ticket costs $2400.

He makes $46.4 a day.

So, to buy a ticket, he needs to work:

2400/46.4 = 51.7 days

Rounding up

He must work 52 days to pay for a single ticket.

Customers who purchase museum tickets in advance receive 10% off the regular admission price. Anias paid a sale price of $54. He
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

Regular price of a ticket = $60

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

On purchasing museum tickets in advance customers get 10% off on the regular price of ticket.

Anias paid the sale price of ticket = $54

To find the regular price of ticket.

Solution:

Let the regular price of ticket in dollars be =x

Discount offered for booking in advance = 10%

Discount amount in dollars = Discount\ percent \times Regular\ price=10% \times x =0.10 \times x =0.1x

Sale price of a ticket in dollars= Regular price - Discount amount= x-0.1x=0.9x

Sale price given for a ticket = $54

So, we have:

0.9x=54

Dividing both sides by 0.9

\frac{0.9x}{0.9}=\frac{54}{0.9}

∴ x=60

∴ Regular price of a ticket = $60
