A grocer sells 30 loaves of bread a day. The cost is $2.50 per loaf. The grocer estimates that for each $0.50 increase in cost,
2 fewer loaves of bread will be sold per day. Let x represent the number of $0.50 increases in the cost of a loaf of bread.For what number of $0.50 increases in the cost of a loaf of bread will the grocer's generated revenue be greater than zero?
A. The grocer's generated revenue will be greater than zero for any number of $0.50 increases greater than 20.
B. The grocer's generated revenue will be greater than zero for any number of $0.50 increases less than 20.
C. The grocer's generated revenue will be greater than zero for any number of $0.50 increases greater than 15
.
D. The grocer's generated revenue will be greater than zero for any number of $0.50 increases less than 15.
A. The grocer's generated revenue will be greater than zero for any number of $0.50 increases greater than 20.
B. The grocer's generated revenue will be greater than zero for any number of $0.50 increases less than 20.
C. The grocer's generated revenue will be greater than zero for any number of $0.50 increases greater than 15
.
D. The grocer's generated revenue will be greater than zero for any number of $0.50 increases less than 15.
1 answer:
Answer:
none of the above
Step-by-step explanation:
The grocer's revenue will be the product of the number of loaves sold (30-2x) and their price (2.50+0.50x).
Revenue will be positive for values of x between those that make these factors be zero. The number of loaves sold will be zero when ...
... 30 -2x = 0
... 15 -x = 0 . . . . . divide by 2
... x = 15 . . . . . . . add x
The price of each loaf will be zero when ...
... 2.50 +0.50x = 0
... 5 + x = 0 . . . . . . . multiply by 2
... x = -5 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 5
Revenue will be positive for any number of increases greater than -5 and less than 15.
_____
D is the best of the offered choices, but it is incorrect in detail. -5 is a number less than 15, but will give zero revenue.

Answer:
26*26*26 = 17576 ways to select 3 letters
10*10= 100 ways to select 2 numbers
So then the total number of ways are:
possible ways
Step-by-step explanation:
For this case we assume that we have 26 letters from A to Z and 10 numbers from 0 to 9 .
And we want to calculate the number of possible passwords possible if the password consists of 3 letters followed by 2 digits.
And for this case we can use the multiplication principle of combinatories, since we don't have any restriction about the letters of the numbers we can have repetition of letters or numbers.
For the number of possible letters:
26*26*26 = 17576 ways to select 3 letters
10*10= 100 ways to select 2 numbers
So then the total number of ways are:
