The correct answer to this question is B.
Solve each problem. Volume of a Box A piece of sheet metal is 2.5 times as long as it is wide. It is to be made into a box with an open top by cutting 3 -inch squares from each corner and folding up the sides, as shown at the top of the next page. Let x
represent the width of the original piece of sheet metal. (a) Represent the length of the original piece of sheet metal in terms of x.
(b) What are the restrictions on x?
(c) Determine a function V
that represents the volume of the box in terms of x
(d) For what values of x
(that is, original widths) will the volume of the box be between 600 and 800 cubic inches? Determine the answer graphically, and give values to the nearest tenth of an inch
The action of being active
In this item, we will be able to form a system of linear equation which are shown below,
292 = 400x + y
407 = 900x + y
where x is the percent of the commission that he gets and y is the wage. The values of x and y from the equations are 0.23 and 200. This means that Justin earns a fixed wage of 200 per day and a commission which is equal to 23%.
Substituting the known values to the equation,
S = (0.23)(3200) + 200 = 936.
Therefore, Justin could have earned $936 had he sold $3,200 worth of merchandise.
