Answer:
No
Step-by-step explanation:
For negative numbers, the larger the number is the smaller its value is. For example -18 is greater than -18.5. This is because -18 is closer to 0 than -18.5 is. If you were to plot -18 and -18.5 on a number line you would see that -18 is closer to 0.
You take the amount paid and divide it by the amount of cheese. So 10.50 divided by 2.5 equals 4.2 and 12.60 divided by 3 equals 4.2 meaning that one pound of cheese costs $4.20
So here's the solution to the problem:
Calculate the average sell:
1,700 * $25 = $42,500 (revenue)
And if the Opera House wants to increase their revenue:
The price of a ticket will be:
$25 - x (where x is the number of 1-dollar decreases)
The number of tickets in total:
1,700 + 200x
Therefore the equation is:
(1,700 +200x) * ( 25 - x ) = 55,000
We can also solve this equation, but the solutions are not whole numbers.
x 1 = 5.89 and x 2 =10.6
For x = 6 (6 times 1 - dollar decreases):
( 1,700 + 200 * 6 ) * ( 25 - 6 ) = ( 1,700 + 1,200 ) * 18
=2,900 *19 = 55,100 (we will yield the revenue over $55,000)
Let n = 30
We are actually looking for a_30.
a_30 = 4(30) + 1
a_30 = 120 + 1
a_30 = 121
