We are given with the variable cost which is:
q = -20s + 400

The selling price is 's'. So, the profit can be represented by:
P = qs - q(12)

Subsituting:
P = (-20s + 400)s - 12 (-20s + 400)
P = -20s^2 + 640s - 4800

To optimize this, we must differentiate the equation and equate it to zero, so:\
dP/ds = -40s + 640 = 0
Solving for s,
s = 16

So, the selling price should be $16 to optimize the yearly profit.

You can find any ordered pair in which the y coordinate is 4 times the x coordinate.

For example, an ordered pair could be (2,8) or (5,20)

Carpeting costs $9.99 a yard. If Jam buys 17.4 yards, how much will it cost her ?
guapka [62]
For this question you would have to multiply the cost ( $9.99 ) by how many yards are being bought (17.4) this is fairly simple , whip out your calculator . The answer is $173.83
