To calculate this, we need to do the following:
92 * 115 = 10580 (we first multiply the percentage with our number)
10580 / 100 = 105.8 (and divide what we get by 100 to get the final answer)
And this is also already the answer: 105.8
The answer is infinitely many solutions
If you divide the 2nd equation by 3, you get the first equation, meaning they are identical. That means that any value of x will be true, which means there are infinite solutions
Answer:
...
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Information:</u>
Fixed Cost = $32,634
Variable Cost = $8.75 per book.
Selling Price = $24.50 per book.
<u>Define x:</u>
Let x be the number of books sold.
<u>Construct Equation:</u>
For production cost to be equal auto money from sales:
⇒ 24.5x = 32634 + 8.75x
<u>Solve x:
</u>
24.5x = 32634 + 8.75x
Take away 8.75x from both sides:
15.75x = 32634
Divide both sides by 15.75:
x = 2072
Answer: The publisher must sell 2072 books.
