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

You got the equations correct, great job on that!

Let "s" be the variable that represents how many shirts were bought. Let "p" represent the total price/cost.

Equation for the store at Town Center mall:

p = 80 + 3.5s (80 is base cost, and cost increases 3.5 per shirt)

Equation for the store in Arlington:

p = 120 + 2.5s (120 is base cost, and cost increases 2.5 per shirt)

We want to find a point where the systems are equal; thus, we are solving for a system of linear equations, and we already have the equations we need.

p = 80 + 3.5s

p = 120 + 2.5s

We know that variable "p" is equal for both equations; thus, we can combine both equations into:

80 + 3.5s = 120 + 2.5s

Subtract both sides by 2.5s

80 + 3.5s - 2.5s = 120 + 2.5s - 2.5s

80 + s = 120

Subtract both sides by 80

s = 40

Thus, both equations are equal when 40 shirts are bought.

To find the cost, use any of the two equations (or both) to find the total cost, which should be equal.

p = 80 + 3.5(40) = 220

p = 120 + 2.5(40) = 220

Thus, the total price/cost at both stores is $220.

Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!
