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.

Answer:

477

Step-by-step explanation:

It's pretty simple. All you need to calculate is how much they made in the 9 hours. So multiply 58 x 9 and you get 522. Then take away what they didnt make, which was 45. That gives you 477.

What makes 50.652 rational?
Ivanshal [37]
Remember a rational number is a number that can be written with two whole numbers in a fraction, for example, 0.25 can be written as 1/4 notice how, both, the numerator and denominator are whole numbers AKA Integers(numbers that aren't decimals or fractions).

any number that can't be written by whole numbers in the numerator or denominator is an irrational number, things like Pi, Pi cannot be written by two whole numbers in the fraction. 

50.652, is definitely rational because the fraction does not need decimal numbers in the numerator or denominator.

it can be written as:
50 \frac{50}{50} or \frac{12663}{250}

notice how neither the numerator or denominators are decimals?
