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

If $11,000 is invested in an account for 25 years. Find the value of the investment at the end of 25 years if the interest is:
Naya [18.7K]

If $11,000 is invested, $33,000 is the value of the investment at the end of 25 years if the interest is 8% simple interest and $75,333.23 is the value of the investment at the end of 25 years if the interest is 8% compounded annually. This can be obtained by using formulas for simple interest and compound interest.

<h3>What is the formulas of simple interest and compound interest?</h3>
  • Simple interest

A = P(1 +Rt/100) , P = principle amount ,R = rate of interest, t = time(in years)

  • Compound interest (annually)

A = P(1 + R/100)^t , P = principal amount, R = rate of interest,                                t = time(in years)

   

<h3>What is the value of investment?</h3>

Given that,  

P = $11,000 , R = 8%,  t = 25 years

  • 8% simple interest

A = P(1 +Rt/100) = 11000(1+\frac{(8)(25)}{100} ) = $33,000

  • 8% compounded annually

A = P(1 + R/100)^t = 11000(1+\frac{8}{100} )^{25} = 11000(1.08 )^{25} = $75,333.23

Hence If $11,000 is invested, $33,000 is the value of the investment at the end of 25 years if the interest is 8% simple interest and $75,333.23 is the value of the investment at the end of 25 years if the interest is 8% compounded annually.

How to figure out how to do this problem
padilas [110]
The circumference should be 37.68 because area= pi *r^2. So if area=pi*36, then the radius must be 6 which makes the diameter 12 and circumference=pi*diameter and 3.14*12= 37.68. So circumference of the circle is 37.68!
