Answer:

The original price is $50. The student's mistake in the equation is that he should have done 7.5/0.15

The student should not have multiplied, instead divided. He also didn't put 15 in a decimal form, which would have messed the whole equation up.

A manufacturer has fixed costs of $16,000 per month and can produce w widgets at a cost of 0.1w^(2) + 20w. How many widgets shou

musickatia [10]

Consider c as the cost of the widget so that our given equation is
c = 0.1w^2 + 20w
Take the derivate of the equation.
d/dt (c = 0.1w^2 + 20w)
dc/dt = 0.2w + 20
Given dc/dt = $16000 per month, the number of widgets would contain:
16000 = 0.2w + 20
-0.2w = 20 - 16000
-0.2w = -15980
w = 79900 widgets

Part 3: 9 Dogs

Step-by-step explanation:

It says that the ratio they want you to put it in is dogs/students, so dogs are x, and students are y, so if there are 4 students for every dog, 36 students would require 9 dogs

And if the roles were switched it would be students x, dogs y, and there would be 9 students for 36 dogs :D
