Let x be how many hot dogs person b ate

therefore, person a ate x+8 hotdogs
and person c ate x-10 hotdogs

they all ate 130 hotdogs in total so
x + x + 8 + x - 10 = 130
3x -2 = 130
3x = 132
x = 44

so person b ate 44 hotdogs
person a ate 8 more so 52 hotdogs
and person c ate 10 less than person b so 34 hotdogs

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

63 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The profit function P(x) is given by the revenue function minus the cost function:

P(x) = R(x) - C(x)\\P(x) = 34ln(x+5)-\frac{x}{2}

The number of units sold 'x' for which the derivate of the profit function is zero, is the number of units that maximizes profit:

P(x) = 34ln(x+5)-\frac{x}{2}\\P'(x) =0= \frac{34}{x+5}-\frac{1}{2}\\x+5=68\\x=63\ units

The number of units that should be manufactured so that​ profit is maximum is 63 units.
