I could be wrong
Answer:
Nu 4550
Step-by-step explanation:
Commission of 5% only applies to the first 70,000 so

That leaves 15,000 left in sales where the 7% commission applies.

Adding these two together we get a total of

9514 1404 393
Answer:
2440
Step-by-step explanation:
The difference in fixed costs is ...
37815 -16465 = 21350
The difference in variable costs is ...
20.50 -11.75 = 8.75 . . . . per book
Then the number of books that must be produced for the difference in variable costs to be equal to the difference in fixed costs is ...
21350/8.75 = 2440
For production of 2440 books, the costs of the two methods will be the same.
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
You can write expressions for total cost of each production method. When you set them equal and solve for the number of books, you find the math you end up doing is the same as that shown above.
4a^2+7ab-b^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Add the first two equations together:
3a^2-ab-2b^2
+ 2a^2+5ab-3b^2
---------------------------
5a^2+4ab-5b^2
Subtract that answer from the remaining trinomial:
5a^2+4ab-5b^2
- a^2-3ab-4b^2
--------------------------
4a^2+7ab-b^2
