Answer: 36
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, the total number of candies in the jars = 250
The fullest jar or left most jar has candies = 72
The right most or least candies containing jar has candies = 13
Thus, the sum of candies of middle 5 jars = 250-(72+13) = 165
The average of the these 5 jar = 165/5 = 33
Thus, the maximum number of candies in the middle jar = 33
⇒ The minimum number of candies in the second jar = 33 + 2 = 35 ( because no jar has equal number of candies and they are put in the decreasing order of candies)
But, the maximum number of candies in the second jar = 72 - 1 = 71
⇒ The difference between the maximum number of candies in second jar = 71 - 35 = 36

Hi,
For this question, we are given the following system of equations:
2x - y = 3
x + y = 3
Let's make the first equation in the form of y = mx + b as shown below:
y = 2x - 3
x + y = 3
Now, substitute the first equation into the second to get:
x + 2x - 3 = 3
Combine similar terms to get:
3x = 6
x = 2
We now know that x = 2 and can plug this value into one of the given equations to get:
2 + y = 3
y = 1
FINAL ANSWER: x = 2 ; y = 1
I hope that helps you out!
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
First, the profit formula:
PROFIT= TOTAL REVENUE - TOTAL COST
Next, note the points:
- Without Advertisement, Q = 6,000 where Q is quantity supplied
- A formula that gives the total profit P in dollars must take into account that 100cents = 1dollar
- Here, only a dollar is spent on advertisement, hence, Q = 6005
- Advertising expenses have been accounted for and [P = 9cents × Q] where Q is quantity sold.
- 9 cents = 0.09 dollars
TOTAL PROFIT FORMULA = 0.09Q - 500
