Where <em>x </em>is the number of books sold, <em>i </em>is income, and <em>c </em>is cost:
<em>c = 4x + 3500 </em> ($4 per book plus the 3500 flat marketing fee)
<em>i = 15x </em>($15 per book)
You are looking for the point where these intersect: the intersection is where the income is equal to the cost, and at any point after that the income is greater than the cost. So, set the equations equal to each other:
<em>4x + 3500 = 15x </em>
subtract 4x from both sides
<em>3500 = 11x</em>
divide both sides by 11
<em>x = 318.181818</em>
So, you would have to sell a minimum of 319 books in order to make a profit.
The variable a cannot be zero because that would make -9a = zero and 8 divided by zero is indeterminate.
Answer:y= 47/20

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
perp. -3/2
y + 2 = -3/2(x - 4)
y + 2 = -3/2x + 6
y = -3/2x + 4
answer is D
Answer:
150 for lower seats and 200 for higher seats
Step-by-step explanation:
Need two equations and then solve using substitution method:
Equation 1 for tickets sold:
$35x + $25y = $10,250
Equation 2 for quantity (number #) of tickets sold:
x + y = 350
Use substitution method:
y = 350 - x
35x + 25 (350 - x) = $10,250
35x + $8750 - 25x = $10,250
10x + $8750 = $10,250
- $8,750 -$8,750
10x = 1,500
x = 150
y = 350 - 150
y = 200
Check the answers:
$35 (150) + $25 (200) =
$5,250 + $5,000 = $10,250
