The cost of 1 watermelon and 5 oranges is $11.The cost of 3 watermelons and 5 oranges is $24.50.How much is the cost of 1 waterm

nignag [31]

Answer:

$6.75

Step-by-step explanation:

1: In this explanation, let's let one watermelon be w, and one orange be o.

2: From the passage, 1w + 5o = $11.

3: Also from the passage, 3w + 5o = $24.50

4: We can then use a simultaneous equation to work them out - both equations we have use 5 oranges.

3w + 5o = 24.5 (equation 1)

1w + 5o = 11 (equation 2)

5: We can now take the second equation away from the first :

3w - 1w = 2w, 5o - 5o = 0, 24.5 - 11 = 13.5

Now we know 2w = 13.5

6: If 2w = $13.50, one watermelon will be half of that, so $6.75

Hope this helps, let me know if you have any further questions :)

A printer has a contract to print 100,000 posters for a political candidate. He can run the posters by using any number of plate

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information;

Numbers of posters that can be printed in an hour = no of impression/hour × no of plate utilized in each impression.

= 1000x

Thus, the required number of hours it will take can be computed as:

$\implies \dfrac{100000}{1000x} \\ \\ =\dfrac{100}{x}$

cost per hour = 125

If each plate costs $20 to make, then the total number of plate will equal to 40x

∴

The total cost can be computed as:

$C(x) = (\dfrac{100}{x}) \times 125 + 20 x --- (1)$

$C'(x) = (-\dfrac{12500}{x^2}) + 20 --- (2)$

At C'(x) = 0

$\dfrac{12500}{x^2} = 20$

$\dfrac{12500}{20} = x^2$

$x^2= 625$

$x = \sqrt{625}$

x = 25

$C'' (x) = -12500 \times \dfrac{-2}{x^3} +0$

$C'' (x) = \dfrac{25000}{x^3}$

where; x = 25

$C'' (x) = \dfrac{25000}{25^3}$

C''(x) = 1.6

Thus, at x = 25, C'' > 0

As such, to minimize the cost, the printer needs to make 25 metal plates.

2+1.25f=10−2.75f solve for f

Inga [223]

Hey there!

2 + 1.25f = 10 - 2.75f
Add 2.75f to both sides.

1.25f + 2.75f = 4f

4f + 2 = 10
Subtract 2 from both sides.

4f = 8
Divide both sides by 4 to solve for f.

f = 2

I hope this helps!
