Jeremy opens a chocolate shop in the city. He pays $1,500 a month for rent and maintenance of the shop. The price of raw materia

ls and manufacturing the chocolates is $6,000 a month. He sells the chocolates individually and in boxes of a dozen.  Jeremy understands that his business needs a little time to become a success and decides that he wants to build a customer base initially. He is happy to break even for the first year.  After a year, Jeremy prices his chocolates at $3 apiece. He offers a discount of 10% on boxes of chocolate to promote the sale of boxes. How many boxes of chocolate would he have to sell to recover the cost of running the business this year per month? (Assume that he sells no individual chocolates.)

A farmer decides to enclose a rectangular garden using the side of the barn as on of the sides of the recta
dedylja [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the fence = x

Let the width of the fence = y

 Recall that the perimeter of a rectangle is calculated by 2(L+B) , but the farmer is using the side of the barn on one side of the rectangle , so the perimeter equation is  

x + 2y = 48

 Area = xy

 If we substitute the perimeter equation so that the area is only in terms of y.

 

Area = (48 - 2y)y

Area = 48y - 2y^{2}

 Now just find the vertex of the parabola

 Area = -2 y^{2}+ 48y

A = -2 y^{2} + 48

Differentiate A with respect to y

\frac{dA}{dy} = -4y + 48

equate it to zero , we have

-4y + 48 = 0

4y = 48

y = 12

Substitute y = 12 into equation 1, we have

x = 48 - 2y

x = 48 - 2(12)

x = 48 - 24

x = 24

Therefore the dimensions of the garden are 24 by 12

The maximum area is 288 square unit

The sum of two numbers is 66. The larger number is 6 more than the smaller number. What are the numbers?
Paladinen [302]
The two numbers are 30 and 36. I know this because when I did 10 and 16, I realized that if I went up 10 for each number, the sum would go up by 20. So I did 20 and 26, and got 46. Then I did 30 and 36, and the sum was 66.

Hope this helps!

Make a table showing all the possible outcomes for spinning the pointer of a spinner with four equal-sized sections labeled 1–4
natka813 [3]

Answer:

12.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two types of spinners here and the outcome of them is independent. That means

P(odd number,C) = P(odd number) * P(C)

There are two odd numbers out of four numbers in the first spinner. The chance of odd number will be:

P(odd) = 2/(2+2)= 1/2= 50%

There are four letters and the desired outcome is C. The chance for C will be:

P(C)= 1/4= 25%

Then the chance will be:

P(odd number,C) = P(odd number) * P(C)

P(odd number,C) =50% * 25% = 12.5%
