Production by Mexico is the same percentage (3%) of world production for the years of interest, so the relation is
... (mexico production) = 0.03 × (world production)
Then, dividing by 0.03, we get
... (mexico production)/0.03 = (world production)
The change in world production is the difference between the amounts for the two years, so is
... (production increase) = (2007 world production) - (2000 world production)
... = 24/0.03 - 18/0.03 = (24 - 18)/0.03
... = 6/0.03 = 200 . . . . million metric tons
The appropriate choice is (D) 200.

Answer:

with the video game cost of x = $6
This agrees with the last option in the list of possible answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Recall that the maximum of a parabola resides at its vertex. So let's find the x and y position of that vertex, by using first the fact that the x value of the vertex of a parabola of general form:

is given by:

In our case, the quadratic expression that generates the parabola is:

then the x-position of its vertex is:

This is the price of the video game that produces the maximum profit (x = $6). Now let's find the y-position of the vertex using the actual equation for this value of x:

This value is the highest weekly profit (y = $246).
Now, recall that we can write the equation of the parabola in what is called "vertex form" using the actual values of the vertex position
:

Therefore the answer is:

with the video game cost of x = $6
