A carpool service has 2,000 daily riders. A one-way ticket costs $5.00. The service estimates that for each $1.00 increase to th

e one-way fare, 100 passengers will find other means of transportation. Let x represent the number of $1.00 increases in ticket price.
Choose the inequality to represent the values of x that would allow the carpool service to have revenue of at least $12,000. Then, use the inequality to select all the correct statements.

Answer:

Total number of riders that ride on carpool daily = 2000

Total Cost of one way ticket = $ 5.00

Total Amount earned if 2000 passengers rides daily on carpool = 2000 × 5

                                                                                                            = $10,000

If fare increases by $ 1.00

New fare = $5 + $1    

               = $6

Number of passengers riding on carpool = 2,000 - 100 = 1,900

If 1,900 passengers rides on carpool daily , total amount earned ,if cost of each ticket is $ 6 = 1900 × $6 = $11400

As we have to find the inequality which represents the values of x that would allow the carpool service to have revenue of at least $12,000.

For $ 1 increase in fare = (2,000 - 1 × 100) passengers

For $ x increase in fare, number of passengers = 2,000 - 100·x

                                                         = (2,000 - 100·x) passengers

New fare = 5 + x

New Fare × Final Number of passengers ≥ 12,000

(5+x)·(2,000 - 100 x) ≥ 12,000

5 (2,000 - 100 x) + x(2,000 - 100 x) ≥ 12,000

10,000 - 500 x + 2,000 x - 100 x² ≥ 12,000

100 - 5 x + 20 x - x² ≥ 120

- x² + 15 x +100 - 120 ≥ 0

-x² + 15 x -20 ≥ 0

x² - 15 x + 20 ≤ 0

⇒ x = 1.495

x ≥ $ 1.495, that is if we increase the fare by this amount or more than this the revenue will be at least 12,000 or more .

Also, f'(x) = 0 gives x = 7.5

⇒ The price of a one-way ticket that will maximize revenue is $7.50

A pail hold 6 3/4 gallon of water. how much is this in cups
Ber [7]
There are 16 cups in 1 gallon so you would have to turn the denominator in the fraction into a 16 meaning you would multiply by 4 (because 4 goes into 16, 4 times). Your new fraction is 12/16. now you do 6 gallons*16 cups and you get 96 cups. Then you add the fraction onto 96 and you would be adding 12. Your final answer is 108 cups in 6 3/4 gallons

The regression equation y=0.5x+1.3 approximates the number of hours it takes to arrange a dinner event, y, given the number of p
Sphinxa [80]

It would be C.

For example, say 1 person comes. This would be x=1. Plugging this in gives you,

y=0.5 + 1.3

This shows that C is true since x is always going to be multiplied by 0.5.

1.3 would be the base amount of time it takes to arrange since if it the y-intercept.

A parallelogram has two
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

x + (x + 55) = 180

2x =125

The angle is 62.5 degrees

Double-Check

62.5 + (62.5 + 55) = 180

125 + 55 = 180

62.5 is the smaller angle
