Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

He sells them 8 dollars and uses 5 dollars worth of material.

His profit is 8 - 5 = 3 dollars.

He has to sell enough to overcome the 1200 dollars.

1200 / 3 = 400

He breaks even after selling 400 widgets.

Answer:

400

Step-by-step explanation:

The manufacturer spends $5 to make each widget and sells them for $8.  This means that each widget gives him a profit of $3.

8 - 5 = 3

You need to figure out how many widgets it will take for the manufacturer to make up for the costs each month ($1200).

3x = 1200

(3x)/3 = 1200/3

x = 400

The manufacturer needs to sell 400 widgets.

Three times a larger number is 30 more than 5 times a smaller number. The sum of the larger number and 5 times the smaller numbe
slava [35]
3y  = 5x + 30

y + 5x = 50 .......(1)

3y - 5x = 30 .....(2)        - rearranging the first equation.

Add (1) and (2):-

4y = 80

y = 20  
Now plug y = 20 into equation (1):-
20 + 5x = 50
5x = 30 
x = 6

The 2 numbers are 6 and 20.

A lock on a fence door has a 4 digit combination. Each digit can be any number
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

D. 9990 possible combinations

Step-by-step explanation:

The first digit has 10 choices (can be all of them), the second digit also has 10 choices. The third and fourth digits also have 10 choices.

Multiply them together you get 10*10*10*10 = 10000 possible combinations.

But since all 4 characters cannot be the same, we subtract 10 from 10000 (there are 10 combinations which the 4 characters are the same: 1111, 2222, 3333, 4444, 5555, 6666, 7777, 8888, 9999, and 0000) and we get 9990.
