A cash box of $1 and $5 bills is worth $45. The number of $1 bills is three more than the number of $5 bills. How many of each b
Softa [21]

Answer:

  • 7 $5 bills
  • 10 $1 bills

Step-by-step explanation:

If we take out the extra $3, we can group the bills into one each of $5 and $1, for a value of $6. There will be 7 such groups in the remaining $42.

That means there are 7 bills of the $5 denomination, and 3 more than that (10 bills) of the $1 denomination.

There are 7 $5 bills and 10 $1 bills.

_____

If you want to write an equation, it is usually best to let a variable stand for the most-valuable contributor. Here, we can let x represent then number of $5 bills. Then the value of the cash box is ...

  5x +(x+3) = 45

  6x = 42 . . . . . . . . subtract 3, collect terms

  x = 7 . . . . . . . . . . . there are 7 $5 bills

  x+3 = 10 . . . . . . . . there are 10 $1 bills

You may notice that this working parallels the verbal description above. (After we subtract $3, x is the number of $6 groups.)

The sum of the measures of a pair of alternate angles of two parallel lines is 210°. What are the measures of these two angles?
aniked [119]
The answer is 105 and 105 because they did not tell you that one had more than the other, so it's equal. Plus, it could not be 210 or over or 0 or less. It was spilt up equally between both alternate angles, and the lines are parallel, so the angles are equal. So just do 210/2 and get what one of the angles would be. Great question!

A scuba diving company currently charges $100per dive. On average, there are 30 customers per day. The company performed a study
Semenov [28]

A. Total Revenue (R) is equal to price per dive (P) multiplied by number of customers (C). We can write R=PC.

Per price increase is $20. So four price increase is $20*4=$80. Hence, price per dive is 100+80=$180.

Also per price increase, 2 customers are reduced from 30. For 4 price increases, 4*2=8 customers are reduced. Hence, total customers is 30-8=22.

So Total Revenue is:

R=180*22=3960


B. Each price increase is 20. So x price increase is 20x. Hence, new price per dive would be equal to the sum of 100 and 20x.

Also per price increase, customers decrease by 2. So per x price increases, the customer decrease is 2x. Hence, new number of customers is the difference of 30 and 2x.

Therefor we can write the quadratic equation for total revenue as the new price times the new number of customers.

R=(100+2x)(30-2x)=-40x^{2}+400x+3000


C. We are looking for the point (x) at which the equation modeled in part (B) gives a maximum value of revenue (y). That x value is given as x=-\frac{b}{2a}, where a is the coefficient of x^{2} and b is the coefficient of x. So we have,

x=-\frac{b}{2a}=- \frac{400}{(2)(-40)}=5

That means, the greatest revenue is achieved after 5 price increases. Each price increase was 20, so 5 price increase would be 5*20=100. So the price that gives the greatest revenue is 100+100=200.

ANSWERS:

A. $3960

B. R=-40x^{2}+400x+3000

C. $200
