A)
The vertex can be determined using the completing square method.
f(x) = -(x² - 44x + 384)
= -(x² - 44x + 384 + 22² - 22²)
= -(x - 22)² - 384 + 22²
= -(x - 22)² + 100
The vertex is (22 , 100) and this means that the maximum profit(due to negative sign of coefficient of x) is $100 and is achieved when 22 combos are sold
B) 0 = -(x - 22)² + 100
x - 22 = 10
x = 32
x - 22 = -10
x = 12
This means the shop gains no profit when it sells 32 or 12 combos, and this can be due to the production cost being equal to the money gained via sales.

Q5. A car is bought for £5000 and sold for £7500.<br> What is the percentage profit?
Nitella [24]

Answer:

50% profit

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost price = £ 5000

Selling price = £ 7500

Profit  = Selling price - cost price

        = 7500 - 5000

       = £ 2500

Profit percentage = \frac{2500}{5000}*100

                             = 50 %
