Debbie works in a warehouse. Each cart that she uses to move boxes can hold no more than 200 pounds. If each box she puts on the
Nady [450]

Answer:

She can put a maximum of 10 boxes in the cart.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that each cart that Debbie uses to move the boxes supports a maximum of 200 pounds, and that each box that she places in the cart weighs 20 pounds, to determine the maximum number of boxes that can fit in the cart, the following calculation must be performed :

200/20 = X

20/2 = X

10 = X

Thus, she can put a maximum of 10 boxes in the cart.

The revenue​ (in millions of​ dollars) from the sale of x units at a home supply outlet is given by ​R(x)equals=0.210.21x. The p
Natalka [10]

Answer: a) c(x) = 0.124x + 1.1, b) 13 units

Step-by-step explanation: Revenue function = R(x) = 0.21x

Profit function = p(x) = 0.086 - 1.1

Cost function = c(x) =?

A)

Recall that profit = total revenue - total cost

Hence, total cost = total revenue - profit

c(x) = 0.21x - (0.086x - 1.1)

c(x) = 0.21x - 0.086x + 1.1

c(x) = 0.124x + 1.1

B)

Break even point is the point where total revenue equals total cost

R(x) = c(x)

0.21x = 0.124x + 1.1

0.21x - 0.124x = 1.1

0.086x = 1.1

x = 1.1/0.086

x = 12.79 which is approximately 13 units

A chemist has two alloys, one of which is 5% gold and 20% lead and the other which is 30% gold and 50% lead. How many grams of e
dmitriy555 [2]

The amount of the first alloy is 450 grams and the amount of the second alloy is 30 grams.

<h3>What is a linear equation?</h3>

It is defined as the relation between two variables, if we plot the graph of the linear equation we will get a straight line.

If in the linear equation, one variable is present, then the equation is known as the linear equation in one variable.

We have:

A chemist has two alloys, one of which is 5% gold and 20% lead and the other which is 30% gold and 50% lead.

Let's suppose the x is the amount of the first alloy and y is the amount of the second alloy:

We can make two linear equation in two variables:

0.05x + 0.3y = 31.5  ...(1)

0.2x + 0.5y = 105  ...(2)

After solving the above two linear equations by substitution method, we get:

x = 450 grams

y = 30 grams

Thus, the amount of the first alloy is 450 grams and the amount of the second alloy is 30 grams.
