The way you find profit is to subtract the revenue and the cost
Profit = Revenue - Cost
The revenue is the amount of money coming in, the cost is the amount of money going out. The goal of course is to have the revenue larger than the cost so that the profit is positive.
So the equation given is
P = 7.5n - (2.25n+15)
and its in the form
P = R - C
where...
R = 7.5n is the revenue equation
C = 2.25n+15 is the cost equation
Focus on the revenue equation
R = 7.5n
which is the same as
R = 7.50*n
This tells us that Sandra pulls in a total of 7.50*n dollars where n is some positive whole number. It represents the number of necklaces sold. For example, if she sold n = 10 necklaces, then
R = 7.50*n
R = 7.50*10
R = 750
meaning that Sandra has made $750 in revenue
As you can see above, the revenue is computed by multiplying the price per necklace ($7.50) by the number of necklaces sold (n) to get R = 7.50*n
So that's why the answer is $7.50
Note: The 2.25 is part of the cost equation. This is known as the variable cost. It is the cost to make one necklace ignoring the fixed cost (eg: rent). The variable cost often doesn't stay the same, but algebra textbooks often simplify this aspect.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
we can use the trigonometric function in a right triangle
cos x = adjacent side to the angle /hypothenuse
cos 36°= x/10 ; multiply both sides by 10
10 * cos 36° = x ; make sure your calculator mode is in degrees
8.1 = x

Answer:
b=15 g=25
Step-by-step explanation:
lets translate that story problem to mathematics equations
the problem told that no. of girls are 10 more than no of boys so this will =
g=b+10
then in class there are 40 students that means
g+b=40
now we have to equations with two variables then we should substitute
(b+10)+b=40
lets remove the brackets
2b+10=40 subtract 10 from both sides
2b=30 now divide both by 2
b=15 so g=25 after you write the equation once again with the new proof or number
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
The first equation has to be the ratio of raisins to sunflower seeds. If r is raisins and p is sunflower seeds and there are 3 times as many raisins as sunflower seeds then the first equation must be 3r=p
The second equation should model the prices properly. Raisins are 1.5 per pound and sunflower seeds are 4 per pound, because of this we should have 1.5r (r being each pound of raisins) and 4p (p being each pound of sunflower seeds). From this we know the second equation must be 4p+1.5r=34
