Answer:

Maximum cost is 37, and the maximum income is 370*70 = 25.900

Step-by-step explanation:

Let y be the number of cars that are rented, and let b  the rate at which it is charged the rental per day. Then, the income of the car rental is y*b. We know that if b= 30 then y = 440. Let k be the increase in rate. So, we know that if k=1, then y decreases in 10 cars (that is y = 440-10). Let b = 30+k be the new renting rate. In this case, we have that y = 440-10k, since for each dolar we increment the renting rate, the number of rented cars reduces in 10. Then, the income as a function of k is given by

I(k) = (440-10k)\cdot(30+k)

We want to find k such that I is maximum. Then, we will find it's derivative and solve it equal to 0. The derivative is given by

I'(k) = (-10)\cdot (30+k) + (440-10k) = 440-300-20k = 140-20k = 20(7-k)

Those, the equation I'(k) =0 has the solution k=7.

Note that I''(k) = -20<0, so this implies that k=7 is a maximum by the second derivative criteria.

Hence, the optimum rate is 30+7 = 37 and the number of cars that will be rented is 440-70 = 370. Then, the income is I(7) = 25900

Answer:

Maximum cost C is

C = P(740-10P) = 37(740-370) = 37 × 370 = $13,690

C = $13,690

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Q represent the number of cars rented per day and P the rate.

To form the demand equation;

Q = a - bP

A car rental agency rents 440 cars per day at a rate of ​$30 per day

440 = a - 30b ......1

For each ​$1 increase in​ rate, 10 fewer cars are rented

(440-10) = a - (30+1)b

430 = a - 31b ......2

Subtracting equation 2 from 1

10 = b

From equation 1;

440 = a - 10(30)

a = 440 + 300 = 740

So;

Q = 740 - 10P

Cost C = Q×P = P (740-10P) = 740P - 10P^2

Maximum cost is at dC/dP = 0

dC/dP = 740 - 20P = 0

P = 740/20 = $37

Maximum cost C is

C = P(740-10P) = 37(740-370) = 37 × 370 = $13,690

Mrs. Greensmith works a PC Richards and earns $35 per week plus a 12% commission o sales. How much would she earn for the week i
n200080 [17]
Answer: $245

she makes $35 every week (her wage, i’m assuming) regardless of how many sales she makes.

in order to find out how much money she makes out of her sales, you have to multiply the percentage commission by how much her sales was: so .12x1750 = $210 from sales.

you then add up her wage and her sales money, so $35 from wage + $210 from sales = $245 total for the week
