<u>Information:</u>

Fixed Cost = $32,634
Variable Cost = $8.75 per book.
Selling Price = $24.50 per book.

<u>Define x:</u>

Let x be the number of books sold.

<u>Construct Equation:</u>

For production cost to be equal auto money from sales:
⇒ 24.5x = 32634 + 8.75x 

<u>Solve x:
</u>
24.5x = 32634 + 8.75x 

Take away 8.75x from both sides:
15.75x = 32634

Divide both sides by 15.75:
x = 2072

Answer: The publisher must sell 2072 books.

Given s = 10 and h = 15. Find the total surface area of the square prism.
anastassius [24]

Answer:

150

Step-by-step explanation:

h = hight

s = sides

surface = 10 x 15

surface = 150

(V = 10 x 10 x 15

(V = 100 x 15)

(V = 1500)

(Base area = B)

(B = Lenght x Width)

(B = 10 x 10)

(B = 100)

Will someone please answer this and remind me how to solve this
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the two triangles are similar, you can use proportions to solve for the value of x

\frac{x}{12}  = \frac{4}{3}

Now, just multiply 4 and 12.

4 * 12 = 48

Then divide that by 3.

48 / 3 = 16

Therefore, x = 16.
