x = number of 1-cent stamps
y = number of 8-cent stamps
z = number of 12-cent stamps
We have 31 stamps all together, so x+y+z = 31.
"I have 4 more 1-cent stamps than 8-cent stamps" means we have the equation x = y+8. Whatever y is, add 8 to it to get x. Solve for y to get y = x-8.
You also have "twice as many one cent stamps as 12 cent stamps", so x = 2z. Solving for z gets you z = 0.5x
-------------
x+y+z = 31
x+x-8+z = 31 ... y replaced with x-8
x+x-8+0.5x = 31 ... plug in z = 0.5x
2.5x-8 = 31
2.5x = 31+8
2.5x = 39
x = 39/2.5
x = 15.6
Your teacher made a typo somewhere because we should get a positive whole number result for x (since x is a count of how many 1-cent stamps we have).
Answer:
Percentage increase in volume will be
33.1
%
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the each edge of cube be
100
units.
Then its volume is
100
3
=
1000000
cubic units.
If each edge increases by
10
%
it becomes
110
units
and volume becomes
110
3
=
1331000
cubic units
Therefore increase in volume is
1331000
−
1000000
=
331000
cubic units
and percentage increase in volume is
331000
1000000

Step-by-step explanation:


Answer and explanation:
Profit from sale of model boats = Sales -costs(costs of goods purchases + expenses or charges by the local fair)
John's profit from the sale of model boats can be represented by the equation:
P= 50x-(5x+80)
Where P is profit from the sale of the model boats and x is number of model boats bought and sold. The 80 is constant as it is a fixed cost paid to the local fair.
For example if John buys and sells 20 model boats, he would make profit of:
Substitute x=20 in equation above
P= 50×20-(5×20+80)
P=1000-180
P=$820
It could be said that John is in a very profitable business and his profit is also dependent on volume of sales because the lower his sales the closer he gets to making a loss and not profit
