$500 was earned over 3 years
so, to find one year
500 ÷ 3 = $166.67
Interest for one year is $166.67
Interest rate for one year is 8%
8% = 166.67
1% = $20.83
100% = $2083.33
Principal amount is $2083.33
Let
x--------->number of products
y1--------> <span>the cost of producing a product
y2------> </span><span>the cost of sell a product
</span><span>
we know that
y1=120,000+20x-------> equation 1
y2=50x------> equation 2
equate equation 1 and equation 2
120,000+20x=50x
50x-20x=120,000
30x=120,000
x=4000
the answer is
4000 pieces</span>
I guess 60 people may be because if atleast 10 people makes ticket reduce to $5 so there must be 60 people
Problem 1
We replace every copy of x with 4c and simplify like so:
f(x) = 8 - 5x
f(4c) = 8 - 5*4c
f(4c) = 8 - 20c is the answer
This is equivalent to -20c+8.
====================================================
Problem 2
Same idea as before, but this time we'll plug in x = 2-k
Each x gets replaced with (2-k)
f(x) = 8 - 5x
f(2-k) = 8 - 5(2-k)
f(2-k) = 8 - 10 + 5k
f(2-k) = -2 + 5k
This is the same as saying 5k - 2.
====================================================
Problem 3
The steps are similar to earlier.
f(x) = 8 - 5x
f(4p+3) = 8 - 5(4p+3)
f(4p+3) = 8 - 20p - 15
f(4p+3) = -7-20p
This is the same as writing -20p - 7.
