Answer:

y (revenue) = x (number of sweat shirts) × A → eq(1)

y (cost) = x (number of sweat shirts) × B → eq(2)

Where, A= Selling price per shirt

            B=Cost to produce one shirt

Step-by-step explanation:

A and B are constants and can be assumed.

The result of solving the above system of equation is break-even point , where a firm has incurred neither loss or generated any profit.

This can be more reasonably understood with a diagram.

Answer:

The solution x = 229.89 ≅ 230 (since we cannot have a decimal number of sweatshirts)implies that, the money collected from selling sweatshirts equals the money used in producing sweatshirts when 230 sweatshirts have been sold or produced.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the complete question

In the first equation in the system of equations, y represents the money collected from selling sweatshirts. in the second equation, y represents the money spent to produce x sweatshirts with team logos on them for a professional sports league.

y=35x; y=-0.05(x-400)²+9,492

what does the solution of the system represent in this context?

Solution

The solution of the system is obtained when both equations are equal. That is y=35x = y=-0.05(x-400)²+9,492 .

So, 35x = -0.05(x-400)² + 9,492.

Expanding the right side, we have

    35x = -0.05(x² - 800x + 160000) + 9492

    35x = -0.05x² -800x × -0.05 + (-0.05) × 160000 + 9492

    35x = -0.05x² +40x - 8000 + 9492

    35x = -0.05x² +40x + 1492

Collecting all the terms to the left side, we have

0.05x² - 40x - 1492 + 35x = 0

0.05x² - 5x -1492 = 0

Using the quadratic formula,

x = \frac{-(-5) +/- \sqrt{(-5)^{2} - 4 X 0.05 X - 1492}  }{2X0.05}   = \frac{5 +/- \sqrt{25 + 298.4}  }{0.1} =  \frac{5 +/- \sqrt{323.4}  }{0.1}\\=  \frac{5 +/- 17.983 }{0.1}\\=  \frac{5 - 17.983 }{0.1}  or  \frac{5 + 17.983 }{0.1}\\= \frac{-12.983 }{0.1} or  \frac{22.983 }{0.1}\\= -129.83 or 229.83

We choose the positive answer x = 229.83. Since we cannot have a decimal number of sweatshirts, we approximate to the nearest whole number. So, x = 229.83 ≅ 230 sweatshirts.

The solution implies that the money collected from selling sweatshirts equals the money used in producing sweatshirts when 230 sweatshirts have been sold or produced.

We confirm that by plugging in x = 229.83 in both equations.

y = 35x = 35(229.83) = 8044.05 ≅ 8044.1

y=-0.05(x-400)²+9,492 = y=-0.05(229.83-400)²+9,492 = y=-0.05(-170.17)²+9,492 = y=-0.05(28,957.8289)+9,492 = -1447.8914 + 9492 = 8044.11 ≅ 8044.1

Charlie is evaluating the product of 0.09 and 0.05. He multiplies, and before placing the decimal, arrives at an answer of 45. A
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

Result = 0.0045

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

0.09 * 0.05

Required

Determine the result

Following Charlie's steps:

0.09 is a 2 decimal placed digit

and

0.05 is a 2 decimal placed digit

So, the product is as follows:

9 --------- 2 decimal place

5 --------- 2 decimal place

------------------------------------------

45 --------- 4 decimal place

Shifting the decimals in 45 to 4 decimal places will give us: 0.0045

<em>Hence, the final answer is 0.0045</em>
