Basic Pay = $40
Commission for 1 pair of shoes = $4.50
Let x be the number of shoes he needs to sell.
40 + 4.5x ≥ 112
4.5x ≥ 72
x ≥ 16
Answer: He must sell at least 16 pairs of shoes.
Let x=number of hamburgers sold and y=number of hot dogs sold.
Step 1)
cost of burgers X # of burgers + cost of hotdogs X # of hotdogs=$ collected 1.5x + 1.25y=105.5
step 2)
# of burgers sold + number of hot dogs sold = total number of items sold
x + y = 78
step 3) solve for y in the second equation
y = 78 - x
step 4) substitute y = 78 - x in the first equation for the value of y and solve for x
1.5x + 1.25(78 - x)=105.50
1.5 x + 97.5 - 1.25x=105.50
.25x = 8
x = 32
step 5) plug in our value for x in the second equation and solve for y
x+y=78
32+y=78
y=46
answer 32 hamburgers and 46 hot dogs

Answer:
Either increase the number of acres that can be used for strawberry fields (by buying more land)..If we use the same numbers from earlier, then the farmer should use approximately 16.65 acres of land (or just 17 acres of land)
So if the farmer has 17 acres of land or more, then he will make more than $70,000 per year
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the proportions from earlier
We have the point (5, 21000)
70,000/21,000 = 3.3
To find the x-value multiply 3.3 by 5
3.3 * 5 = 16.65
We can even use the other point's values to find the exact same answer
Point (3.5, 14700)
70,000/14,700= 4.7619047619
4.7619047619 * 3.5 = 16.66 (literally about the same)
(5/3)*(7/3) = 35*(1/3)²
The area is 35 square units.
