Answer:

They need to sell 14 cakes to break even.

Step-by-step explanation:

The selling price of each cake = $ 4

The amount spent on the advertisement = $45

The cost of each cake  = 80 cents  =$ 0.8

Let us assume the number of cakes sold to BREAK EVEN  = m

⇒ For m cakes: TOTAL COST = TOTAL EARNED

Now, if the cost of 1 cake  = $0.8

So, the cost of making m cakes  = m X ( cost of 1 cake) = m x ( 0.8) = 0.8 m

Total Cost of m cakes  = Making cost + Advertisement cost

= 0.8 m + $45

⇒C = 0.8 m + 45  ........... (1)

Here, the selling price of 1 cake  = $4

So, the cost of selling m cakes  = m X ( Sell cost of 1 cake)

= m x ( 4) = 4 m

⇒S = 4 m  ........... (2)

To break even: S  = C  ⇒0.8 m + 45  =  4 m

or,  45 = 3.2 m

or, m = 45/3.2 =  14.06≈ 14

⇒ m  = 14

Hence, they need to sell 14 cakes to break even.

What is the equation in point-slope form if a line that passes through points (3,-5) and (-8,4)?
nignag [31]

The slope-point formula:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\\\\m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

We have (3, -5) and (-8, 4).

Substitute:

m=\dfrac{4-(-5)}{-8-3}=\dfrac{9}{-11}=-\dfrac{9}{11}\\\\y-4=-\dfrac{9}{11}(x-(-8))\\\\y-4=-\dfrac{9}{11}(x+8)\to C)

In the last 6 years the population of Manchester, England, has grown at a rate of 0.8% per year to 530,300. If this rate continu
Rzqust [24]

Given parameters:

Current population  = 530,300 people

Growth rate  = 0.8% per year

Unknown

Population in 15 more years  = ?

To solve this problem, we  must compound the increase per year.

This implies that we treat the problem like that of a compound interest.

Since we know that population increases by 0.8%,

                          it is similar to 1 + \frac{0.8}{100}  = 1.008 increase

Now the population in 15years will be;

                530300 x (1.008)¹⁵  = 597626 people

So, the population after 15yrs is 597626 people
