A company makes and sells charm bracelets. The cost of producing x bracelets is represented by the function C(x) = 180 + 8x. The

revenue earned from selling x bracelets is represented by the function R(x) = 20x. Write and simplify a function P that represents the profit made from selling x bracelets. How many bracelets must the company sell to break even?

Answer:

The correct answer would be, No of bracelets the company must sell to break even would be 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Revenue is given by the function as:

R(x) = 20x

and Cost is given by the function as:

C(x) = 180 + 8x

Let the function P(x) represent the profit earned.

We know that Profit is equal to Revenue - Cost

i-e  

Profit = Revenue - Cost

So,

P(x) = R(x) - C(x)

Now substituting the Revenue and cost values in the above equation.

P(x) = 20x - (180 + 8x)

P(x) = 20x -180 -8x

P(x) = 20x - 8x -180

P(x) = 12x - 180

Now if we want to find out the break even point, we would consider profit as Zero, 0. So substituting 0 in the above equation for Profit, we will get:

0 = 12x - 180

12x = 180

x = 180/12

x = 15

So the break even point will be 15 bracelets.

if tom spins the spinner 80 times work out an estimate for the number of times the spinner will land on 3 please help me
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

The estimated number of times the spinner will land on 3 is 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is:

A four-sided spinner is provided. If Tom spins the spinner 80 times then work out an estimate for the number of times the spinner will land on 3.

Solution:

Assume that the four-sided spinner is unbiased.

That is all the four outcomes are equally likely to be selected.

The probability that the spinner lands on any of the four numbers is:

P(1) = P (2) = P (3) = P (4) = 0.25

It is provided that Tom spins the spinner <em>n</em> = 80 times.

The spinner can land on any of the four numbers independently.

The random variable <em>X</em>, defined as the number of times the spinner lands on 3, follows a Binomial distribution with parameters <em>n</em> = 80 and <em>p</em> = 0.25.

The expected value of <em>X</em> is:

E(X)=np

        =80\times 0.25\\=20

Thus, the estimated number of times the spinner will land on 3 is 20.
