4 0

so the company has an overhead of $600, usually that involves premises leasing and industrial equipment for the manufacturing of the product, that's cost.  The cost to make each item is 50 cents, so if the company produces "x" items, their cost is 0.5x total.

so our cost equation C(x) = 0.5x + 600   <---- items' cost plus overhead.

the company sells the product for 85 cents, so if they sell "x" items, their total revenue or income will be 0.85x.

so our revenue equation is simply R(x) = 0.85x.

as you already know, the break-even point is when.... well, you break even, no losses but no gains either, how much you take in is the same amount that you shelled out, namely R(x) = C(x).

\bf \stackrel{R(x)}{0.85x}=\stackrel{C(x)}{0.5x+600}\implies 0.35x=600\implies x=\cfrac{600}{0.35} \\\\\\ x\approx 1714.285714285714\implies \stackrel{\textit{rounded up}}{x=1714}

Ella used 3 4 of a bag of lemons to make 1 2 liters of lemonade. If Ella's recipe is for 1 liter of lemonade, how many lemons wi
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

<u>Answer:</u>

Ella will need 6 lemons for 4 times the recipe

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given Ella used ¾ of a bag of lemon to make ½ liters of lemonade

Therefore, we can form an equation as:

¾ bag lemons = ½ liter lemonade

According to question,

Ella recipe is for 1 liter of lemonade

Lemons required for ½ liter lemonade = \frac{3}{4} bag

Lemons required for 1 liter lemonade =\frac{3}{4}\times 2 = 3/2 bags

To make 4 times the recipe, she will require,

\frac{3}{2} \times 4 = 3 \times 2 = 6

She will need 6 lemons for 4 times the recipe

PLEASE HELP!
erica [24]

The correct next step that Cynthia should do is to:

D. use the arc markings to determine the radius to construct the circle

<span>The arc markings are actually used as the baseline in determining the center and the radius of the circle. The arc markings are created with the use of a compass. All other choices are completely irrelevant because what we need is the arc and not the angles. The angles do not create the circle. Letter C is also wrong because what we are trying to form is the circle and not the triangle. The triangle is already created.</span>
