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

kramer

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

Here it's given that ,

\sf\red{\longrightarrow} A=\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}

Also ,

\sf\red{\longrightarrow} s =\dfrac{a+b+c}{2}

And we need to find out the value of A , when

  • a = 3
  • b = 4
  • c = 5

So , on substituting the respective values to find s we have ,

\sf\red{\longrightarrow} s =\dfrac{3+4+5}{2}=\dfrac{12}{2}=\bf{6}

Now let's find out A as ,

\sf\red{\longrightarrow} A = \sqrt{6(6-3)(6-4)(6-5)} \\

\sf\red{\longrightarrow}A =\sqrt{6 * 3 * 2 * 1}\\

\sf\red{\longrightarrow} A = \sqrt{3^2 * 2^2 *1^2}\\

\sf\red{\longrightarrow}A = 3*2\\

\sf\red{\longrightarrow}\boxed{\qquad \blue{\bf A = 6 \qquad}}

The surface area of this rectangular prism is 34 square centimeters. What is the volume is the width is 1 cm, the length is 2 cm
Bezzdna [24]

Answer: 10\ cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The surface area of a rectangular prism is 34\ cm^2

Width of prism w=1\ cm

Length of prism l=2\ cm

height of prism h=x\ cm

Surface area is given by

S.A.=2[lw+wh+hl]

Put values

34=2[2\times 1+1\times x+2x]\\17=2+3x\\15=3x\\x=5\ cm

Now, the volume of Prism is given by

V=l\times w\times h

\Rightarrow V=2\times1\times 5=10\ cm^3
