Assume that the demand for tuna in a small coastal town is given by____ p = 700,000/ q^1.5 ; where q is the number of pounds of

tuna that can be sold in a month at p dollars per pound. Assume that the town's fishery wishes to sell at least 5,000 pounds of tuna per month. (a) How much should the town's fishery charge for tuna in order to maximize monthly revenue?

<span>it is given that p=750000/q^1.5
p'=-1125000q^(-2.5)<0
p and q is inverse of each other as p is decreasing with increasing of q.
and q  take the allowable least value=5000
charge= 750000/(5000)^1.5
=$2.12/lb
maximum revenue= 2.12(5000)= $23320
hope it helps

Answer:

<h2>The town't fishery should charges around $2 per pound.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens:

  • p=\frac{700,000}{q^{1.5} }; where q refers to the number of pounds of tune, and p refers to dollar cost per pound.

So, the problem is asking the total price is the town's fishery sells at leas 5,000 pounds. To solve this problem we just need to replace the given values in the expression:

p=\frac{700,000}{(5,000)^{1.5} }

p=\frac{700,000}{353,553.4}

p=1.98

Therefore, the town't fishery should charges around $2 per pound.

Can someone help. Write a word problem about equal groups and act it out to solve
Alona [7]

Answer:

HOPE THAT MAY HELP YOU :)

Step-by-step explanation:

Equal groups are illustrations of using the same variable.

A word problem that uses equal group is:  

Christopher traveled a distance of 5 miles yesterday; he traveled a distance of 4 miles earlier today. Calculate the total distance traveled  

The only condition for equal groups is that:  

The units or variable must be the same  

For instance:

Add 5 miles and 4 miles ----- This represents distance

Remove 2 liters from 7 liters --- This represents volume

Add 5 hours and quarter of an hour -- This represents time

And so on.

The list price of a refrigerator is $1899. The chain discount is 20/15. What is the final net price?
shusha [124]
1st = 100% - 20% = 80%
2nd= 100%-15% = 85%

Net Price Factor = 0.8 x 0.85 = 0.68

Net Price = $1899 x 0.68

Final Net Price = $1,291.32

Total Discount= $1899 - 1,291.32 = $607.68

Given the system of equations:
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

x=4

y=2

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+2y=12

x−y=2

​In order to solve by elimination, coefficients of one of the variables must be the same in both equations so that the variable will cancel out when one equation is subtracted from the other.

2x+2y=12,x−y=2

To make 2x and x equal, multiply all terms on each side of the first equation by 1 and all terms on each side of the second by 2.

2x+2y=12,2x+2(−1)y=2×2

Simplify.

2x+2y=12,2x−2y=4

Subtract 2x−2y=4 from 2x+2y=12 by subtracting like terms on each side of the equal sign.

2x−2x+2y+2y=12−4

Add 2x to −2x. Terms 2x and −2x cancel out, leaving an equation with only one variable that can be solved.

2y+2y=12−4

Add 2y to 2y.

4y=12−4

Add 12 to −4.

4y=8

Divide both sides by 4.

y=2

Substitute 2 for y in x−y=2. Because the resulting equation contains only one variable, you can solve for x directly.

x−2=2

Add 2 to both sides of the equation.

x=4

The system is now solved.

x=4,y=2

Correct choice is B) x=4.
