A dairy sells $3 and $5 ice creams. In one day they sell 50 ice creams earning a total of $180. How many of each type of ice cre

murzikaleks [220]

We are going to make simultaneous equations.
x will be our $3 ice cream and y will be our $5 ice cream

Equation1 ---- x + y = 50 (the sum of all the ice creams they sell)
Equation 2 ---- 3x + 5y = 180 Sum of all the $3 and $5 ice creams is $180
Since we can't solve for both variables we will put one of the variables in terms of the other.
Take x+y=50 and subtract y from both sides. (I could have done subtracted x - it did not matter). Now we have x= ₋ y +50 (negative y +50)
Now I am going to take equation 2 and replace the x with -y +50

3 (-y +50) + 5y = 180
Now I will use the distributive law on the 3 and what's in the parentheses:
-3y + 150 + 5y = 180
Now I will combine like terms (the -3y and the 5y)
2y + 150 = 180
Now subtract 150 from both sides of the equation
2y = 30
Divide both sides by 2
and get y= 15 They sold 15 ice creams that cost $5 each
Since equation 1 is x+y=50 we can replace y with 15
x + 15 = 50 Now subtract 15 from both sides x = 35
Since x represents the $3 ice creams, they sold 35 of those.
Check:
35 X 3 = $105
15 x 5 = + <u>75
</u> $180

A rancher wishes to build a fence to enclose a rectangular pen having area 24 square yards. Along one side the fence is to be ma

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

The value is $C \approx \$76$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The area of the rectangular pen is $A = 24 \ yard^2$

The cost of material used to make one side is $z = \$ 6$

The cost of material used to make the other sides is $r = \$ 3$

Now , the fence to be build around the rectangular pen has four sides, the first opposite sides are equal, let assume each of the to be x yard and the other opposite sides are also equal as well let assume of the to be y yard

So the cost is mathematically represented as

$C = zx + r (x + 2y )$

=> $C = 6x + 3(x + 2y)$

=> $C = 9x + 6y$

Now the area of the fence is mathematically represented as

$A = x* y = 24$

=> $y = \frac{24}{x}$

=> $C = 9x + 6[\frac{24}{x} ]$

=> $C = 9x + [\frac{144}{x} ]$

Now differentiating

$C' = 9 + 144* (-2) x^{-2}$

$C' = 9 - 288x^{-2}$

At minimum $C' = 0$

So

$9 - 288x^{-2} = 0$

$x^{-2} = 0.03125$

$x = \sqrt{\frac{1}{0.03125} }$

$x = 5.66$

Now substituting for x in the equation above to obtain minimum cost

$C = 9(5.66) + [\frac{144}{5.66} ]$

$C \approx \$76$
