In the summertime your friend wants to have a snow cone stand at a local grocery store parking lot. You want to make sure he act

ually makes money. The grocery store charges $300 per month. All products are calculated to be 25 cents per customer. Your plans are to sell each cone for $1.25.
a) Write a mathematical expression representing the cost of operation for a month.

b) Write a mathematical expression representing sales.

c) Create an equation that will represent overall profit of the operation for a month

d) Simplify the equation into slope intercept form and standard form. What is the slope and explain its meaning in the context of selling snow cones? What is the intercept and what is its meaning?

e) Describe the method of graphing the slope intercept form and also the standard form of the equation.

f) What is the domain and range of the equation? Is the relation a function, why?

g) How many snow cones do you need to sell to break even in the first month?

h) How much is the profit if you sell 425, 550 or 700 snow cones in the first month of business?

a) The total monthly cost is the sum of the fixed cost and the variable cost. If q represents the number of cones sold in a month, the monthly cost c(q) is given by 
   c(q) = 300 + 0.25q

b)
If q cones are sold for $1.25 each, the revenue is given by
   r(q) = 1.25q

c)
Profit is the difference between revenue and cost.
   p(q) = r(q) - c(q)
   p(q) = 1.00q - 300
. . . . . . slope-intercept form

d)
The equation in part (c) is already in slope-intercept form.
   q - p = 300
. . . . . . . . . . . . standard form
The slope is the profit contribution from the sale of one cone ($1 per cone).
The intercept is the profit (loss) that results if no cones are sold.

e) With a suitable graphing program either form of the equation can be graphed simply by entering it into the program.
   Slope-intercept form. Plot the intercept (-300) and draw a line with the appropriate slope (1).
   Standard form. It is convenient to actually or virtually convert the equation to intercept form and draw a line through the points (0, -300) and (300, 0) where q is on the horizontal axis.

f) Of the three equations created, we presume the one of interest is the profit equation. Its domain is all non-negative values of q. Its range is all values of p that are -300 or more.

g) The x-intercept identified in part (e) is (300, 0). You need to sell 300 cones to break even.

h) Profit numbers are
   425 cones: $125 profit
   550 cones: $250 profit
   700 cones: $400 profit

7 points!!!! hep help help 2. When you are converting a decimal to a fraction, how do you know what to use as the denominator?
vitfil [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

Check to see if there is a number before (to the left of) the decimal. If there is, this number is the whole number of the fraction. So, 3 is the whole number. Place the number that falls after (to the right of) the decimal in the numerator; then use the decimal placement to determine the denominator.

Katniss Everdeen found the absolute value of |25| to be -25.
stich3 [128]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

Absolute values will never be negative.

Since absolute values are simply the number's distance from zero, it can never be negative, since there are no negative distances.

In this case, | 25 | is equal to 25. This is because the distance from 0 to 25 is 25.

So, Katniss is wrong.

Select the graph of the solution. Click until the correct graph appears.<br><br> | x | + 1 &lt; 3
Marat540 [252]

-2

The graph of the equation is attached in the figure below

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to make the graph of the equation: |x|+1

Solving the equation:

|x|+1

Applying absolute rule: |u|<a, a>0 then -a<u<a

So,

-2

The graph of the equation is attached in the figure below.

the box that shoes come in are often used in other capacities once the shopper has bought theshoes sometimes the boxes are used
adoni [48]

The box with area of the base of the box is 112 square inches and the height is 3.5 inches has volume of 392 in³

A cuboid is a three dimensional shape polyhedral with six quadrilateral faces. The volume of a cuboid is:

Volume of cuboid = length * width * height

A box is a three dimensional shape in the form of a cuboid. The volume of a box is:

Volume of box = length * width * height

Volume of box = area of base * height

The area of the base of the box is 112 square inches and the height is 3.5 inches, hence:

Volume of box = 112 in² * 3.5 in

Volume of box = 392 in³

The box has volume of 392 in³
