Answer: 42</h3>
Explanation:
We have y = -0.9x^2 + 76x - 250 which is in the form y = ax^2+bx+c
where,
The vertex (h,k) is when the profit is maxed out.
h = -b/(2a)
h = -76/(2(-0.9))
h = 42.222 approximately
Let's plug in x values around x = 42
Try x = 41
y = -0.9x^2 + 76x - 250
y = -0.9(41)^2 + 76(41) - 250
y = 1353.10
Now try x = 42
y = -0.9x^2 + 76x - 250
y = -0.9(42)^2 + 76(42) - 250
y = 1354.4
Now try x = 43
y = -0.9x^2 + 76x - 250
y = -0.9(43)^2 + 76(43) - 250
y = 1353.9
We see that the largest profit happens when x = 42.
Take the regular price, multiply it by .2, subtract that off of the regular price. What it means is 20% of the regular price is taken away from the regular price.
Answer: n = 75; p = 30
Explanation: (a) 5p + 4n = 450 where p is for pen and n is for notebook.
(b) 10p + 3n = 525
We can use the elimination method to solve these two equations.
1. Multiply the first equation by 2 so that 10p will cancel out:
2(5p + 4n = 450)
- 10p + 3p = 525
10p + 8n = 900
- 10 p + 3n = 525
5n = 375
2. Divide by 5 to get n alone: n = 75
3. Plug 75 into the first equation: 5p + 4(75) = 450
5p + 300 = 450
4. Subtract 300 from 450: 5p = 150
5. Divide by 5 to get p alone: p = 30
We can test if this is correct by plugging our answers into the second equation:
10(30) + 3(75) = 525
300 + 225 = 525
525 = 525
This is a true statement, which means that our answers are correct.
