Answer:
twenty-five thousand, six hundred seventy-eight
Step-by-step explanation:
Here is our profit as a function of # of posters
p(x) =-10x² + 200x - 250
Here is our price per poster, as a function of the # of posters:
pr(x) = 20 - x
Since we want to find the optimum price and # of posters, let's plug our price function into our profit function, to find the optimum x, and then use that to find the optimum price:
p(x) = -10 (20-x)² + 200 (20 - x) - 250
p(x) = -10 (400 -40x + x²) + 4000 - 200x - 250
Take a look at our profit function. It is a normal trinomial square, with a negative sign on the squared term. This means the curve is a downward facing parabola, so our profit maximum will be the top of the curve.
By taking the derivative, we can find where p'(x) = 0 (where the slope of p(x) equals 0), to see where the top of profit function is.
p(x) = -4000 +400x -10x² + 4000 -200x -250
p'(x) = 400 - 20x -200
0 = 200 - 20x
20x = 200
x = 10
p'(x) = 0 at x=10. This is the peak of our profit function. To find the price per poster, plug x=10 into our price function:
price = 20 - x
price = 10
Now plug x=10 into our original profit function in order to find our maximum profit:
<span>p(x)= -10x^2 +200x -250
p(x) = -10 (10)</span>² +200 (10) - 250
<span>p(x) = -1000 + 2000 - 250
p(x) = 750
Correct answer is C)</span>
Answer:
$1500
6% interest
use the formula...
P(1+(r/100))^n
where P=initial amount
r=interest rate
t=time period elapsed
so ... for 5 years we get
$1500(1+(6/100))^5 = $1500(1.06)^5 = 2007.3383664
for 10 years
1500(1.06)^10 = 2686.271544814228043264
468 months = 39 years
1500(1.06)^39=14555.261231781943250017719606544
Pennies (P) = 24
Nickels = 1/2P
Dimes = 1/2P + 5
Quarters = (1/2P + 5) -6
Therefore...
Nickels = 1/2P = 1/2(24)= 12
Dimes = 12 + 5 = 17
Quarters = 17 - 6 = 11
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let number of large pizzas be l and number of small be s.
<u>Then we have equations:</u>
- l + s = 100
- 16l + 11s = 1550
<u>From the first equation, we get l = 100 - s and substitute in the second equation:</u>
- 16(100 - s) + 11s = 1550
- 1600 - 16s + 11s = 1550
- 5s = 1600 - 1550
- 5s = 50
- s = 10
Number of small pizzas is 10
