Answer:

the company should make 2307 muffins before the Average cost reaches $0.25/muffin

Step-by-step explanation:

the total cost of making the muffins is

Total cost = fixed cost + variable cost = $300 + $0.12 / muffin *Q

where Q = number of muffins

the average cost is

Average cost = Total cost / number of muffins = ($300 + $0.12 *Q) / Q =  $300/Q + $0.12 / muffin

then for Average cost=  $0.25/muffin

$300/Q + $0.12 / muffin =  $0.25/muffin

Q = $300 / ( $0.25/muffin- $0.12 / muffin ) = 2307.69 muffins ≈ 2307 muffins ( we are rounding down since we want to find the number before the cost goes below 0.25)

then the company should make 2307 muffins before the Average cost reaches $0.25/muffin

Answer: The company must make 2,307 muffins before the average cost per muffin becomes $0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Now, before we can calculate the number of muffins that the company must make to bring the average cost of producing one muffin to $0.25, we have to assign a letter to that unknown variable to enable ease of calculation.

So, let the number of muffins which the company must make be "m".

If one muffin costs $0.12 to make, then the cost to make that unknown number of muffins (m) will be:

0.12 × m = $0.12m

Adding this cost to the starting cost of the company and then dividing the result by that unknown number of muffins should bring the average cost of making a muffin to $0.25

That is:

($0.12m + $300)/m

= $0.25

The next step is to make "m" the subject of the formula and then we will consequently discover the quantity of muffins to make in order to bring the average cost of producing a muffin to $0.25

Cross multiplying the equation above, we will have:

$0.12m + $300 = $0.25m

$0.25m - $0.12m = $300

$0.13m = $300

m = $300 / $0.13

m = 2,307

"m" is 2,307 muffins.

Therefore the company must make 2,307 muffins before the average cost per muffin becomes $0.25

(-4, -2); y = - 2x + 4
padilas [110]

Answer:

y = -2x - 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form of equation is of form

y = mx+c

where m is the slope of line and c is the y intercept of the line.

Y intercept is point on y axis where the line intersects the y axis.

_____________________________

Given equation

y = -2x +4

comparing it with y = mx+ c

m = -2 , c = 4

_____________________________

when two lines are parallel, their slopes are equal.

Let the equation of new line in slope intercept form be y = mx + c

Thus slope of of new required line is -2

Thus m for new line is -2.

now, equation of required line : y = -2x+c

Given that this line passes through (-4, -2). This point shall should satisfy equation  y = -2x+c.

Substituting the value of (-4, -2) we have

-2 = -2(-4)+c

=> -2 = 8 +c

=> -2 -8 = c

=> c = -10.

Thus , equation of required line is  y = -2x - 10.

En un salon de clases cuando se colocan cuatro alumnos en cada banca, 3 de ellos quedan sin puesto y cuando se colocan de a 5 en
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer: 5 benches and 23 students

Step-by-step explanation:

I will answer in English.

We have E students and B benches.

If we sit 4 students per bench, we have 3 students left.

then:

E = 4*B + 3

And if we sit 5 students per bench, there are two places with no students sited.

E = 5*B - 2

now we can replace the E in the second equation with the right part in the first equation:

4*B + 3 = 5*B - 2

3 + 2  = 5*B - 4*B

5 = B

So we have 5 benches, and:

E = 4*5 + 3 = 23 students.

What is the perimeter of a square which has the same area as a circle with circumfrence of 4π
Kruka [31]

Answer:

Perimeter square = 8 sqrt(pi)

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a square is 4*s

The area of a circle is Area = pi * r^2

The circumference of a circle is C = 2*pi * r

C = 4 pi

4pi = 2*pi * r

r = 2

So the area of the circle is pi * r^2 = pi * 2^2 = 4pi

The square has the same area

Area = 4*pi

Square = 4*pi

s^2 = 4*pi

s = sqrt(4*pi)

s = 2*sqrt(pi)

The perimeter = 4 * 2 * sqrt(pi)

The perimeter = 8 * sqrt(pi)
