Answer:
<em>The company needs to sell 40 desks to break even</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Application of Equations</u>
There is virtually no limit to the possible situations where equations can help to find the solution of specific problems related to areas like economy, where one could need to establish some important indicators about the business.
B. The fixed cost for Abstract Office Supplies to sell a new computer desk is $14,000. Each desk will cost $150 to produce. The cost function to produce X desks is
C(x)=150x+14,000
A. The revenue for each desk is estimated at $500, for X desks will be
R(x)=500x
C. The company will break even when the cost and the revenue are the same. We'll find how many desks need to be sold for that to happen. We equate
C(x)=R(x)
Or equivalently
150x+14,000=500x
Rearranging
500x-150x=14,000
350x=14,000
Solving for x
x=14,000/350= 40
The company needs to sell 40 desks to break even
Since one equation has a negative y and the other has a positive y, I'm going to use those since they cancel each other out. Before that, the two y's need to be equal to each other.
x+2y=6
x-y=3
Multiply the bottom equation by two so then you have:
x+2y=6
2x-2y=6
The y's now cancel out:
x=6
2x=6
Add them together
3x=12
Divide
x=4.
To find y, plug x into either equation (*don't have to do both, but I will)
(4)+2y=6
(4)-y=3
Subtract four
2y=2
-y=-1
Divide each
2y/2 = 2/2
y=1
-y/-1 = -1/-1
y=1
The answer is:
x=4
y=1
I hope that helps!
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Given that the local ice cream shop is deciding whether or not to hire a new worker. The shop must pay the worker hourly and cover a daily cost for insurance. The cost to pay an hourly worker for one day is represented by the function y=10x+30 where x=hours.
We find that this is of the form y = mx + B where
m = 10 and B = 30
Hence slope = m = 10
Answer is 10,
and it represents the rate of change of y for a unit change in x.
2. The answer is the third option "No; the data doesn't suggest a causation, and many people are healthy who don't exercise." Correlation is two data set that are linked or connected together so in this case it would be a correlation because all of the data is close and connected to each other.
3. The answer is "Correlation, because time of day doesn't cause a person to run faster or slower ".
That's the correct answer because causation would mean there is a cause and effect and in the question, there is no cause. It can't be the last one because there is enough information. It also can't be the third one because there is a relationship since he shown he runs faster in the evening. Also I took the test and it was right!
We need to find the other base also in order for us to find out what the area of this is.
