A vendor prepares 100.00 hotdogs every day and sells at $20.00/piece. For each hot dog, he spends $12.00 in the raw material. Ad

ditionally he spends $1.00 for packing each hotdog and monthly $50.00, $20.00, $10.00 as food truck rent, electricity and other expenses respectively. Lost sale are taken as $1 per unhappy customer. Leftover hotdogs can be sold for $5.00/piece. On a particular day in June it rained heavily so the vendor was able to sell only 80.00 hot dogs. Determine the vendor’s profit for that day

Answer:

$397.34 (if he sold the 20 leftover hot dogs), $297.34 if he didn't.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are going to assume that a month has 30 days.

  • First, we are going to see how much money the vendor got from selling the 80 hot dogs. He sold 80 hot dogs at 20 dollars/piece = 1600 dollars.

  • We need to subtract the amount of money he spent in each hot dog (12 dollars in raw material plus one dollar for packing): 13 dollars x 100 hot dogs he prepared = 1300 dollars

  • He also spends a total of 80 dollars per month in truck rent, electricity and other expenses. If we divide this by the amount of days per month we have: 80/30 = 2.66

  • The problem doesn't tell us that there were unhappy customers that day so that amount is zero.

  • We are going to assume that the vendor sold the remaining 20 hot dogs at 5 dollars/piece. 20 x 5 = 100.

Thus, the profit for that day is:

1600 - 1300 - 2.66 + 100 = 397.34

<u>(</u><u>Note:</u><u> If the vendor did not sell the leftover hot dogs and he actually only sold 80 hot dogs, then the profit would be: 1600 - 1300 - 2.66 = 297.34)</u>

Solve the simultaneous equations by substitution<br> 4x+3y=-2<br> 3y=4-x
stiv31 [10]

Answer: x=-2 y=2

Step-by-step explanation:

I decided that isolating the y value of the second equation is the best way to start solving.

I divide 3 from both sides to get y= (4-x)/3. With this, I can substitute into the first equation. 4x+3(4-x)/3)=-2.

The multiplying the 3 by the denominator three cancels each other out to make:

4x+4-x=-2.

We subtract 4 on both sides and then subtract x from 4x.

We end up with 3x=-6. Then, we divide both sides by 3.

x=-2.

Now we substitute this into the second equation to solve.

3y=4-(-2)

This becomes 3y=4+2 which is 3y=6

We divide both sides by 3 to get y=2

We end up with x=-2 and y=2.

I hope you learned something :)
