64%. You would divide 16 from 25 because you're trying to find the amount of garbage that was plastic.

Hope this helped! :)

WidgCo is a company that produces and sells widgets. Let p denote the price per widget (measured in dollars), and let x be the m
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

The answer to this question can be defined as follows:

i) \bold{p(x)= -5x^2+ 217x- 1,401} \\

ii) x=22 units

iii) Maximum profit: 953.45

Step-by-step explanation:

Given value:

p(x) = 211 − 5x \\

C(x) = 1,401 + 16x

The formula for calculating the profit function value:

\to \bold{P(x)= xp(x) - C(x)}

             = x(211-5x)- 1,401 + 16x\\\\= 211x -5x^2-1,401+16x\\\\= -5x^2+ 217x- 1,401 \\

The formula for calculating the value for maximum profit:

p'(x)  =  - 10x + 217 =0

217= 10x\\\\x= \frac{217}{10}\\\\x= 21.7

So, the production level is 22 units

Maximum profit:

\to p(21.7)= - 5 (21.7)^2+217 (21.7) -1,401\\\\

           =-5 (470.89) +217 (21.7) -1,401\\\\=-2354.45+ 4708.9-1,401\\\\= 953.45

Point A is at (3,4) and point B is at (8, -4). What is the midpoint of line segment AB?
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

(5.5, 0 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given points (x₁, y₁ ) and (x₂, y₂ ) then the midpoint is

[ 0.5(x₁ + x₂ ), 0.5(y₁ + y₂ ) ]

The midpoint of A(3, 4) and B(8, - 4) is therefore

[ 0.5(3 + 8), 0.5(4 - 4) ] = (5.5, 0 )

I don’t know what the correct answer is
tino4ka555 [31]

The area of a trapezoid is:

(b1 + b2) * h/2, where b1 and b2 are the two bases and h is the height.

We are given expressions for the bases and values of the height and area, so let's plug the values in:

((x + 2) + (4x - 1)) * 8/2 = 104

Calculate the inside of the parentheses:

(5x + 1) * 8/2 = 104

8/2 = 4

(5x + 1) * 4 = 104

Divide by 4 on both sides:

5x + 1 = 26

Subtract 1 from both sides:

5x = 25

Divide by 5:

x = 5

Now that we know x, we can put it into the expressions given for the bases and figure out which is the longer one:

a = 4 * 5 - 1 = 20 - 1 = 19

b = 5 + 2 = 7

a is the longer base, so (A) is the answer.
