Orbital Toys sells two types of sets of magnetic spheres, silver and brass. The store owner, Lucy Ball, pays $8 and $16 for each

one set of silver magnetic spheres and brass magnetic spheres respectively. One set of silver magnetic spheres yields a profit of $3 while a set of brass magnetic spheres yields a profit of $5. Ms. Ball estimates that no more than 2000 sets of magnetic spheres will be sold every month and she does not plan to invest more than $20,000 in inventory of these sets. How many sets of each type of magnetic spheres should be stocked in order to maximize her total monthly profit? What is her maximum monthly profit?​

Answer:

The maximum profit will be reached by buying 500 brass magnetic spheres and 1500 silver magnetic spheres.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this you need to create a system of equations, with two values that will create the answer we are looking for, the thing that we don't know here is how many of each are we buying so the number of silver magnetic spheres will be represented by "y" and the brass magnetic spheres will be represented by "x".

So we know that x+y=2000

That's our first equation, our second would be the expense, which would be

8x+16y=20,000

We now just solve for one of them

x=(2000-y)

8(2000-y)+16y=20,000

16,000-8y+16y=20,000

8y=4,000

y=500

So we know that the maximum profit will be reached by buying 500 brass magnetic spheres and 1500 silver magnetic spheres.

A square with an area of A2 is enlarged to a square with an area of 25A2. How was the side of the smaller square changed?
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

second option : the side length was multiplied by 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

a = side length of the original square

A² = a×a

(a+5)×(a+5) = a² + 10a + 25

and that should be equal to a²×25

a² + 10a + 25 = 25a² ?

10a + 25 = 24a²

no, that is not true for all a

a×5 × a×5 = a²×25 = 25A²

this is the correct solution, as it is true for all a.

The string of a kite is 100 meters long and it makes an angle of 60° with the ground. What is the height of the kite?
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

  50√3 ≈ 86.6 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The geometry can be modeled by a right triangle with the height of the kite being the leg opposite the 60° angle. The hypotenuse has the given length of 100 m.

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you that the relation between angles and the sides of interest here is ...

  Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

  sin(60°) = (kite height)/(100 m)

  kite height = (100 m)·sin(60°) = (100 m)(√3)/2

  kite height = 50√3 m ≈ 86.6 m

An empty box weighs 200g the box is filled with birthday party goozy bags and now weighs 6.2kg Each goody bag weighs 150Work out
otez555 [7]
For this case, the first thing we are going to do is define variables.
 We have then:
 x: number of birthday party goozy bags
 y: total weight
 We then have the following equation:
 y = 150x + 200
 For y = 6200 we have:
 6200 = 150x + 200
 Clearing x:
 x = (6200-200) / (150)
 x = 40
 Answer:
 
there are 40 goody bags inside the box
