Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
As you can see, this is a quadratic equation and if you were to graph this you would see that it is a parabola that opens down because of the negative leading coefficient (-34). The maximum profit would be at the vertex, of the graph. Therefore, we need to find the value of "y" when "x" is the line of symmetry. We find this by x=-b/(2a) where a = -34 and b = 1542:
x=-1542/(2)(-34)
x=-152/-68
x=152/68
We put this value of "x" into the original formula to find out the value of "y":
y=-34x^2+1542x-10037
y=(-34)(1542/68)^2+1542(1542/68)-10037
y= -17483.5588235 + 34967.1176471 -10037
y=7446.5588236
Therefore, the maximum profit would be $7446.56.

PLS MARK BRAINLIEST THIS TOOK A LOT OF TIME
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
30.6 because 10.2 times 30 is 30.6
A = oz of the solution A
b = oz of the solution B
The scientist knows that solution A is 45% salt and solution B is 95% salt. She wants to obtain 80 ounces of a mixture that is 65% salt.
a + b = 80
0.45a + 0.95b = 0.65*80
by solving the above system of equations you'll find····
a = 48 oz
b = 32 oz

If it doesn't make since, I can try to switch up the wording ^^
Answer:
£1920
Step-by-step explanation:
The amount she spent in 2016 is 20% less than 2017. 20% less than is the same as 80% of the amount she spent in 2017. So, to find how much she spent in 2016, multiply 2400 by 0.80 (the decimal form of 80%):
2400 * 0.8 = 1920
Emily spent £1920 on holiday in 2016.
I hope this helps :)
