Answer:

Lest amount : $28

Most amount : $42

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write an inequality using the information given:

  • <em>Shelly is willing to spend $80 to $122  </em>
  • <em>She will buy 3 pairs of shoes </em>
  • <em>She has a coupon for $2 off per pair of shoes after buying the first pair for full price </em>

So, without the coupon the inequality is:

80 ≤ 3x ≤122

Where x is the price of each pair of shoes.(multiplied by 3 because she wants to buy 3 pairs)

Since she has a  $2 off coupon  per pair after the first, we can say that she has $4 added to her budget ( $2 x 2 pairs ).

So the final inequality is

84 ≤ 3x ≤126

Solving:

84/3 ≤ x ≤126/3

28 ≤ x ≤42

Least amount: $28

Most amount: $42

Okay, to start, we can multiply the $2 coupon by two because that is the amount of pairs she is going to by. So it would be $4 off. Now, if all of the shoes she purchased the same price, this is made a little easier. We can simply take $80 and $122 and add it by the $4 discount. Our new numbers would be $84 and $126. Now in order for this to work we would want all the numbers to be the same. We take $84 and divide it by three pairs, to get the values. For the least amount she can spend per pair is $28 and the most amount she can spend per pair is $42.

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

The volume in such a package is 27648 in³

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Postal regulations specify that a parcel sent by priority mail may have a combined length and girth of no more than 144 in.

Let the dimension are x by x by y.

Where x is the variable for the square base package and y is the variable for length.

Thus l=x, b=x and h=y

Then the volume of the box is: V(x)=x^2y (∵V=lbh)

The maximum combined length and girth is 144.

Therefore, 4x+y=144

y=144-4x

Substitute the value of y in volume of the box.

V(x)=x^2(144-4x)

V(x)=144x^2-4x^3

V'(x)=288x-12x^2

Substitute V'(x)=0.

0=288x-12x^2

12x(24-x)=0

x=0\ or\ x=24

Now apply second derivative test.

V''(x)=288-24x

V''(0)=288-24(0)>0 (Min)

V''(24)=288-24(24) (Max)

Hence, the maximum volume is at x=24

If x=24 then y=144-4(24)=48

Substituting value of x = 24 and y = 48 V(x)=x^2y gives 27648.

Hence, the volume in such a package is 27648 in³
