A manufacturer has been selling hats at $8 a piece, and at this price, consumers have been buying 6000 hats per month. The manuf

acturer wishes to raise the price and estimates that for each $2 increase in the price, 500 fewer hats will be sold each month. The manufacturer can produce the hats at a cost of $4 per hat. At what price should the manufacturer sell the hats to generate the greatest profit? Explain your answer.

Answer:

$10

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial selling price per hat= $8

Number of hat sold= 6000

Revenue generated = $8*6000=$48000

Cost of producing hats = $4 per hat

Production cost = $4*6000=$24000

Profit = $48000-$24000=$24000

Increasing the price per hat by $2

Selling price per hat = $2+$8=$10

Number of hats sold are 500 fewer = 6000-500= 5500 hats

Revenue generated = $10*5500 = $55000

Cost of production is the same , where $4 per hat = $4*5500 =$22000

Profit generated = $55000-$22000 =$33000

This means at a price of $10 per hat , selling 500 fewer hats, the manufacture still makes a profit of $33000 which is $9000 more. It will be reasonable to hat at $10 because the profit will increase.

Answer:

  9.  ±1, ±2, ±3, ±6

  11.  ±1, ±2, ±3, ±4, ±6, ±12

Step-by-step explanation:

The possible rational roots are (plus or minus) the divisors of the constant term, divided by the divisors of the leading coefficient.

Here, the leading coefficient is 1 in each case, so the possible rational roots are plus or minus a divisor of the constant term.

__

9. The constant is -6. Divisors of 6 are 1, 2, 3, 6. The possible rational roots are ...

  ±{1, 2, 3, 6}

__

11. The constant is 12. Divisors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12. The possible rational roots are ...

  ±{1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12}

_____

A graphing calculator is useful for seeing if any of these values actually are roots of the equation. (The 4th-degree equation will have 2 complex roots.)

Thulani goes to the library every 7 days. He goes to the market every 4 days
emmasim [6.3K]

Thulani goes to both the library and the market for 5 more times during the year.

Step-by-step explanation:

Thulani goes to the library every 7 days. He goes to the market every 4 days.

We have to calculate the Least Common Multiple (LCM) to analyze the next common day on which he will go to both places.

The factors of 7 are:  1 x 7

The factors of 4 are: 2 x 2

Therefore, the LCM would be = 1 x 7 x 2 x 2

LCM = 28

LCM indicates that Thulani will go to both places on every 28th day.

To calculate the number of times (n) he will go to both places on same day. We can use the formula mentioned below:'

n = \frac{Number of days}{frequency}

Here frequency represents the LCM = 28.

The number of days are:

August: 30 (we are excluding 1st August)

September: 30

October: 31

November: 30

December: 31

Total  = 152

By putting the values in formula, we get

n = \frac{152}{28}

n = 5.42

As, the number of times can only be a whole number. Therefore, Thulani goes to both the library and the market for 5 more times during the year.
