Answer: A

Suppose that the last dollar that Victoria receives as income

brings her a marginal utility of 10 utils while the last dollar that

Fredrick receives as income brings him a marginal utility of

15 utils. If our goal is to maximize the combined total utility of

Victoria and Fredrick, we should

a. Redistribute income from Victoria to Frederick

b. Redistribute income from Fredrick to Victoria

c. Not engage in any redistribution because the current situation already maximizes total utility

d. None of the above

Step-by-step explanation:

Marginal utility is the added satisfaction derived from consuming an additional unit of a good or service. In the above question, Fredrick derives more satisfaction from his last dollar than Victoria, and will therefore achieve a higher marginal utility with additional income than Victoria does with her current income. If we want to maximize the combined utility, we should redistribute income from Victoria to Fredrick.

The logic behind this is the diminishing marginal utility. The first unit of a good consumed gives the highest level of satisfaction, marginal utility reduces with additional units consumed.  In the same way, when we spend our income, we purchase the things that give us the maximum satisfaction first.

Ms. Allen asked each of her 30 students to select their favorite type of music. How many students chose Rock 1/3 chose hip hop 1
dalvyx [7]

Answer: 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Fraction that choose hip hop= 1/3

Fraction that choose rap = 1/5

Fraction that choose rock will be:

= 1 - (1/3 + 1/5)

= 1 - (5/15 + 3/15)

= 1 - 8/15

= 7/15

Number of students that choose rock will be:

= 7/15 × 30

= 7 × 2

= 14 students

We then multi

The fourth question
kodGreya [7K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

AD is the bisector of ∠BAC

∠CPD = ∠BPD

1) ∠CAP = ∠BAP

Reason: definition of angle bisector

2) ∠CPD = 180 − ∠APC, ∠BPD = 180 − ∠APB

Reason: definition of supplementary angles

3) 180 − ∠APC = 180 − ∠APB

Reason: substitution

4) ∠APC = ∠APB

Reason: algebra

5) AP = AP

Reason: reflexive property

6) ΔAPC ≅ ΔAPB

Reason: ASA congruence

Can somebody please help me, this is due in 20 minutes​
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

61°

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for triangle LMN and PQR to be congruent, angle M and angle Q must equal. thus, we can set 2x-26=x+16

with basic algebraic manipulation, x=42. we then plug it back into the angle M or Q, getting angle M/Q= 58°

since this is a isoceles, the 2 base angle are identical, so 180= 58+2(angle P)

thus, angle P= 61
