Answer:

a. $4.00

b. $20.00

c. $ 5000

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The given information are;

The number of tickets sold = 2000

The price of tickets sold = $24

The number extra tickets sold per decrease in price = 125

Let the number of tickets sold = y

The price of each ticket = x

Therefore, given that the fund-raising coordinator estimates that the number of tickets sold vary proportionately with the price of the ticket, we have a linear relationship of the form;

y = mx + c

Where:

m = The slope which is change in y divided by change in x

Change in y = 125

Change in x = -1

m = 125/(-1) = -125

Where the change in y = y - 2000 and change in x = x - 24

we have for a linear straight line relation;

(y - 2000)/(x - 24) = m

Which gives

y - 2000 = -125(x - 24)

y - 2000 = -125·x + 3000

y  = -125·x + 3000 + 2000 = -125·x + 5000

The revenue = Price × Quantity sold = x × y

Where y = -125·x + 5000, we have

Revenue = x×(-125·x + 5000) = -125·x² + 5000·x

The maximum revenue occur at the point where the slope of the revenue = 0, which is d(yx)/dx =d(-125·x² + 5000·x)/dx = -250·x +5000 = 0

x = -5000/(-250) = 20

Therefore, the price that gives maximum revenue = $20 which is a decrease of $24 - $20 = $4.00

b. The price that will maximize the revenue = $20

c. The quantity sold at maximum revenue = -125 × 20 + 5000 = 2500

The maximum revenue = 2500 × 20 = $5000.00

The quotient of any two numbers, with the condition that the denominator is different from zero
elena-s [515]

Answer:

The quotient of any two numbers can be written as:

A/B

such that:

A, B ∈ {R}

Where {R} is the set of all real numbers.

But we also have the restriction that the denominator, B in this case, must be different than zero.

So we can define the set:

{R \ {0}}

As the set of all the real numbers minus the element 0.

So in this set we do not have the number zero, so now we can write our expression as:

A/B

A ∈ {R}, B ∈ {R \ {0}}

Write a scenario that could work for the following line of best fit: y = 0.2x + 7.6. Explain the slope and intercept in this con
Ipatiy [6.2K]
In this question we know what the “y-intercept is,so if we go to our graph we can easily just plot the point 7.6 on the y axis of a number line. It also gives you the slope in decimal form so we would want to convert that from 0.2 to 1/5. And remember the slope is how many places you move to get to the next point on the number line. So from the point 7.6 we would move up 1 over 5 to the right because it is a positive number. Your line should run across the upper segment of the number line and your line should make a 20 to 30 degree angle shift
