They had to pay $75 just to use the table, before they ever sold a basket.
How many baskets do they have to sell to earn that $75 back ?

Each basket costs them $12 to make, and they sell it for $20.
So every time they sell a basket, they earn (20 - 12) = $8 .

How many times do they have to earn $8 in order to earn back the $75 ?

1 basket . . . . . . 1 x $8 = $  8 . . . . . not enough
2 baskets . . . . . 2 x $8 = $16 . . . . . not enough
3 baskets . . . . . 3 x $8 = $24 . . . . . not enough
4 baskets . . . . . 4 x $8 = $32 . . . . . not enough
5 baskets . . . . . 5 x $8 = $40 . . . . . not enough.
6 baskets . . . . . 6 x $8 = $48 . . . . . not enough
7 baskets . . . . . 7 x $8 = $56 . . . . . not enough

8 baskets . . . . . 8 x $8 = $64 . . . . . not enough

9 baskets . . . . . 9 x $8 = $72 . . . . . ooh so close, but not quite enough

10 baskets . . . . 10 x $8 = $80 . . . That's it ! 
                                                             Finally, they earned back the $75,
                                                             and they're $5 ahead of all of
                                                             their expenses.

20-12=8

8 divided by 75= 72

A community theater uses the function p (d) = (-4d+40) (d−40) to model the profit (in dollars) expected in a weekend when the ti
fomenos

The theater make the maximum profit at d = $25. Then the maximum profit of the theatre is $ 900.

<h3>What is differentiation?</h3>

The rate of change of a function with respect to the variable is called differentiation. It may be increasing or decreasing.

A community theater uses the function P(d) = (− 4d + 40) (d − 40) to model the profit (in dollars) expected on a weekend when the tickets to a comedy show are priced at d dollars each.

Then the maximum profit of the theatre will be

The function is P(d) = (− 4d + 40) (d − 40)

Differentiate the function with respect to d and put it equal to zero for maximum or minimum profit.

\begin{aligned} \dfrac{\mathrm{d} }{\mathrm{d} d}P(d) &= 0\\\\\dfrac{\mathrm{d} }{\mathrm{d} d}(- 4d + 40) (d - 40) &= 0\\\\(-4d+40) -4 (d-40) &= 0\\\\-8d + 200 &= 0\\\\d &= 25 \end{aligned}

Then the checking for maximum or minimum, again differentiate, we have

\begin{aligned} \dfrac{\mathrm{d} }{\mathrm{d} d}P(d) &= \dfrac{\mathrm{d} }{\mathrm{d} d}(- 4d + 40) (d - 40) \\\\\dfrac{\mathrm{d} }{\mathrm{d} d}P(d) &= \dfrac{\mathrm{d} }{\mathrm{d} d}(-8d + 200) \\\\\dfrac{\mathrm{d} }{\mathrm{d} d}P(d) &= -8\\\\ \dfrac{\mathrm{d} }{\mathrm{d} d}P(d) & < 0\end{aligned}

The value is less than zero hence maximum value will occur at d = 25.

Then maximum profit will be

P(d) = (− 4×25 + 40) (25 − 40)

P(d) = (− 100 + 40) (−15)

P(d) = (− 60) (− 15)

P(d) = $ 900

If it takes 5 gallons of gas to drive 115 miles, how many miles can be driven using 7 gallons of gas?
elena-s [515]

Answer: The answer is 161

Step-by-step explanation: First you write 5 and 115 as a proportion, 5/115, (for every 5 gallons you can go 115 miles). Then you find out how much you can go with 1 gallon, divide by 5. Then multiply that by 7, since that is how many gallons you need to find out.

Hope this is helpful!

I=$26.24, P=$500, T=18 months the annual interest rate is
NeX [460]
A = $2,861.60

I = A - P = $2,361.60

Equation:
A = P(1 + rt)

Calculation:
First, converting R percent to r a decimal
r = R/100 = 26.24%/100 = 0.2624 per year.

Solving our equation:
A = 500(1 + (0.2624 × 18)) = 2861.6
A = $2,861.60

The total amount accrued, principal plus interest, from simple interest on a principal of $500.00 at a rate of 26.24% per year for 18 years is $2,861.60.
