A retail store sells two types of shoes, sneakers and sandals. The store owner pays $8 for the sneakers and $14 for the sandals.

The sneakers can be sold for $10 and the sandals can be sold for $17. The owner of the store estimates that she won't sell more than 200 shoes each month, and doesn't plan to invest more that $2,000 on inventory of the shoes. How many of each type of shoe should be stocked in order to maximize her total monthly profit?

Answer:

134 sneakers and 66 sandals

Step-by-step explanation:

Sneakers= x, sandals= y

Profit rate:

  • sneakers: (10-2)/8= 25%
  • sandals: (17-14)/14= 21.4%

Sneakers are more profitable, so it should be maximized.

Cost:

8x+14y≤2000

x+y≤200

if we assume the maximum of 200 shoes stocked, then:

x= 200-y

8(200-y)+14y ≤ 2000

1600 - 8y +14y ≤ 2000

6y≤400

y≤66 and x=134 is the best option

Can you please help me with this question with the steps? <br> 8a^3 -2a^2+ 12a-3
KATRIN_1 [288]

I'm assuming you want to simplify the expression since it's not equal to anything.. you can't solve for "a" unless it's equal to something.

factor

8a³ - 2a²+ 12a - 3

2a²(4a - 1) + 3(4a -1)

 (4a - 1) is a like term that can be combined further.

(2a² + 3)(4a - 1)

Somebody help !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
alexgriva [62]

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

The equation y=0.5x simply means that Joseph is hiking 0.5 miles every hour. This is because the x value is the independent variable or the thing you change, which in this case is the time you take hiking. The distance, the y-value, is dependent on that time.

Now, let's look at Kelly's graph. This graph isn't a grid, so we will have to eyeball some of the numbers on the graph. It appears that after 10 hours, Kelly has traveled eight miles. This is because if you go up from the 10 and meet the line and then go to the left. you will be about at the line right below the 10 on the y-axis, and if you count the lines, you will see that we are counting by 2, so it has to be eight.

So, we see that Kelly takes 10 hours to go eight miles. We know that Joseph's distance is half of his time (4 hours would be 2 miles, 6 hours would be 3 hours, etc.)

So, if we say that Joseph hikes for ten hours, he will have hiked five miles as that is half of ten. We see, though, that Kelly made it eight hours in that time, so Kelly is going faster here.

Have a wonderful day and keep on learning! :D

A rectangular prism has a length of 20 in., a width of 2 in., and a height of 3<img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%
vodomira [7]

Calculate the volume of both the prism and the cubes:

Prism:

Volume = 20 x 2 x 3.25 = 130 cubic inches.

Volume of cube:

Volume = S^3 = 1/4^3 = 1/64 ( 0.015625)

Divide the area of the prism by the area of the cube:

130 / 1/64 = 130 * 64 = 8,320

It would take 8,320 cubes to fill the prism.

let's solve for y :

  • 2y - 2x = 4

  • 2(y - x) = 4

  • y - x =  \dfrac{4}{2}

  • y - x = 2

  • y = x + 2
