Find the number of books needed :
----------------------------------------------------------
30814 + 11.5x = 19.25x
19.25x - 11.5x = 30814
7.75x = 30814
x = 3976

A jewelry artist is selling necklaces at an art fair. It costs $135 to rent a booth at the fair. The cost of materials for each
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

The artist will make a profit if she sells 15 necklaces. This is known because 15 is greater than 11.625 (i.e. 15 > 11.625).

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: The question contains some error. The question is therefore rewritten before is answered as follows:

A jewelry artist is selling necklace at an art fair. It costs $135 to rent a booth at the fair. The cost of material for each necklace is $4.50. The artist is selling the necklace at $12 each. The inequality 12n>135+4.50 represents the situation in which the art is making the profit. Will the artist make a profit if she sells 15 necklaces? Show how you know. Be sure to indicate what the variable n represents.

The explanation of the answer is therefore given as follows:

Given;

12n > 135 + 4.50 .................... (1)

Where n represents the number of necklace that must be sold by the artist to make a profit.

Solving for n from equation, we have:

12n > 139.50

n > 139.50 / 12

n > 11.625 ..................... (2)

Equation (2) implies that more than 11.625 necklaces must be sold by the artist to make a profit.

When the artist sells 15 necklaces, it implies that n = 15.

Since more than 11.625 necklaces must be sold by the artist to make a profit, it therefore implies that the artist will make a profit if she sells 15 necklaces. This is known because 15 is greater than 11.625 (i.e. 15 > 11.625).

a farmer had 700 geese and duck altogether. He sold 1/3 of his geese and bought another 20 ducks. Afterthat, the number of ducks
USPshnik [31]
Initial condition:

g+d=700

g=700-d

final condition

d+20=(2g/3)(1/6)

d+20=g/9

9d+180=g, and since g=700-d we can say

9d+180=700-d

10d+180=700

10d=520

d=52, and since g=700-d

g=648

The original number of ducks was 52 and the original amount of geese was 648.

So there were originally (648-52) 596 more geese than ducks.
