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

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.

According to a survey of 100 people regarding their movie attendance in the last year, 40 had seen a science fiction movie, 55 h
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

Check attached picture ; 75 ; 40 ; 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

s = science fiction movie

H = horror movie

A = adventure movie

From the information given :

n(SnHnA) = 5

n(SnH) only = 15 - 5 = 10

n(SnA) only = 25 - 5 = 20

n(HnA) only = 5 - 5 = 0

n(S) only = 40 - (10+5+20) = 5

n(H) only = 20 - (10+5+0) = 5

n(A) only = 55 - (5 + 20 + 0) = 30

b.) Number of people who saw atleast one movie :

Sum of all numbers in the circles :

(5 + 20 + 5 + 10 + 5 + 30 + 0) = 75

c. How many people saw only one type of movie?

n(S) only + n(H) only + n(A) only

(5 + 5 + 30) = 40

d. What percentage of the people saw none of the three movie types?

Number of people who saw none of the movies:

100 - (Number of people who saw atleast one)

100 - 75 = 25

Hence, percentage who saw none :

(25/ 100) * 100%

(1/4) * 100%

= 25%

Center: (2,8), Radius: 3
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

I’m not sure what this question is asking, but I’ll write an equation of this circle you are describing. Here, the x coordinate of the center is h, the y coordinate is k, and radius is r in the equation : (x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2, meaning the equation in this situation is the following: (x-2)^2+(y-8)^2=9
