Answer: a) 15 b)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let X be the number of days:
a)
For LESSONS:
Jordan does 10 / day ( 10*X)
Marco 5 / day ( 5*X)
Junyi 5 / day ( 5*X)
For TESTS:
Jordan does 5 / day ( 5*X)
Marco 10 / day ( 10*X)
Junyi 8 / day ( 8*X)
for each they need a total of 300
a) days for the lessons
b) days for the tests
so they need 15 days to finish both tasks
now if Junyi gets sick we just eliminate his contribution
a) days for the lessons
b) days for the tests
so in 20 days they will finish without him
If jordan works 10 hours a day, we just replace him with 10/24
a) days for the lessons
b) days for the tests
so at the end to complete both tasks they need 29.58 days
Answer:
A) (17 ; 550)
B) $17/item
C) 550
Step-by-step explanation:
First we must calculate the intersection point of the two lines. Since in that point <em>y</em> has the same value in both equations, we can obtain <em>x </em>by equalling the two equations and then using that value for obtaining <em>y</em>:
So the value of <em>x</em> in the intersection point is 17. We now use this value with either one of the equations to obtain <em>y</em><em>. </em>Let's use the supply equation:
So the intersection point is (17 ; 550)
Supply and demand are in equilibrium when the amount of items on supply are the same as the ones on demand. That is the point were the two lines intersect, which means the selling price is the <em>x</em> coordinate and the amount of items is the <em>y</em> coordinate, so that is a selling price of <em>$17/item</em> with a number of items of <em>550</em>.
