Answer:

a) Cost

C(x)=0.17x +350

Revenue

R(x)=0.87x

Profit

P(x)=0.7x-350

b) 500 servings

c) $ 700 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The total cost is the cost per serving plus the cost of renting the facility

Cost per serving = 0.17 per serving

Cost of renting = 350

and we write:

C(x)=0.17x +350

The total revenue is the what the University charges per serving, which is 87 cents per serving. And we write:

R(x)=0.87x

Profit is Revenue minus Cost, which is:

P(x)= R(x)-C(x)=0.87x-(0.17x +350)= 0.87x -0.17x -350= 0.7x - 350\\\\P(x)=0.7x-350

b) To break even Revenue equals Cost, we write

R(x)=C(x)\\0.87x=0.17x+350\\0.87x -0.17x=350\\0.7x=350\\x=\frac{350}{0.7} =500

<em><u>500 servings must the Audubon Society sell to break even.</u></em>

c) we plug 1,500 into the P(x) equation and we get:

P(x)=0.7x-350\\P(1,500)=0.7(1,500)-350\\P(1,500)=0.7(1,500)-350\\P(1,500)=1,050-350\\P(1,500)=700

<em><u>The sale of 1,500 servings of pasta results in a profit of $ 700 dollars.</u></em>

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

4/6

Step-by-step explanation:

If there's 6 sectors, and each sector is equal, the probability of the spin landing into any sector has to be the same. Therefore, each sector should be equal to 1, or 1/6. If 4/6 are shaded, there's a 4/6 probability of the spin landing in a shaded sector.

Hope this helps.
