1835 km from El Paso to Mexico City. Gas costs 13.23 pesos per liter in Mexico. It is 16.75 pesos to $1 US. Your friend's car gets 28 miles to the gallon. (1 mile = 1.609 km and 1 gallon = 3.78 liters). How much in US $ would it cost each person in gas to make the round trip?

Answer:

$81.07

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

It is 1835 km from El Paso to Mexico City.

We are told it is a round trip. This means the distance is multiplied by 2

= 1835km × 2

= 3670km

Step 2

We convert the distance min kilometers from km to miles

1.609 km = 1 mile

3670km =

Cross Multiply

= 3670km × 1 mile/1.609km

= 2280.919826 miles

Step 3

Your friend's car gets 28 miles to the gallon.

28 miles = 1 gallon of gas

2280.919826 miles =

Cross Multiply

2280.919826 miles × 1 gallon of gas/28 miles

= 81.4614223571 gallons.

Step 4

1 gallon = 3.78 liters

81.4614223571 gallons=

81.4614223571 gallons × 3.78

= 307.92417651 liters

Step 5

Gas costs 13.23 pesos per liter in Mexico.

1 liter = 13.23 pesos

307.92417651 liters =

Cross Multiply

307.92417651 liters × 13.23 pesos

= 4073.83685523 pesos.

Step 6

It is 16.75 pesos to $1 US.

16.75 = $1

4073.83685523 pesos =

4073.83685523 pesos × $1/16.75

= $243.214140611

Step 7

There are 3 friends

How much in US $ would it cost each person in gas to make the round trip?

= $243.214140611/3

= $81.0713802036

≈ $81.07

Therefore, it would cost each person $81.07 in gas to make the round trip.

a gift shop sells 160 wind chimes per month at $150 each. the owners estimate that for each $15 increase in price, they will sel
adell [148]

Answer:

The price per wind chime that will maximize revenue = $ 315

Step-by-step explanation:

Given - A gift shop sells 160 wind chimes per month at $150 each. the owners estimate that for each $15 increase in price, they will sell 5 fewer wind chimes per month.

To find - Find the price per wind chime that will maximize revenue.

Proof -

Given that,

Total Wind chimes selling = 160

Price of each Wind chime = $150

Now,

Given that, for each $15 increase in price, they will sell 5 fewer wind chimes per month.

So,

Let the price = 150 + 15x

So,

Number of wind Chimes sold per month = 160 - 5x

So,

Total Revenue, R = (150 + 15x)(160 - 5x)

                             = 24000 - 750x + 2400x - 75x²

                             = 24000 + 1650x - 75x²

⇒R(x) = 24000 + 1650x - 75x²

Differentiate R with respect to x , we get

R'(x) = 1650 - 150x

Now,

For Maximize Revenue, Put R'(x) = 0

⇒1650 - 150x = 0

⇒150x = 1650

⇒x = 1650/150

⇒x = 11

∴ we get

Price per Wind chime = $ 150 + 15(11)

                                    = $ 150 + 165

                                    = $ 315

So,

The price per wind chime that will maximize revenue = $ 315

Plzz hellp :( i will mark you the brainlist if some on helps (A rectangular prism has a length of 1 1/4 yards, a width of 2 1/2
Veseljchak [2.6K]
The volume of rectangular prism is the product of its length, width and height. 
So the volume V of prism with length 1 \frac{1}{4} yards, width 2 \frac{1}{2} yards and height of 4 yards will be:

V=1 \frac{1}{4} * 2 \frac{1}{2} *4 \\  \\ 
V=  \frac{5}{4}* \frac{5}{2}*4 \\  \\ 
V= \frac{25}{2} \\  \\ 
V=12 \frac{1}{2}

Thus the volume of prism as a mixed number in simplest form will be 12 \frac{1}{2} cubic yards

What is the sign of the product (3) × (−3) × (−2) × (4)?
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

Positive, because the products (3) × (−3) and (−2) × (4) are negative and the product of two negative numbers is positive.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 1 * -1 = -1, and -1 * -1 = 1, the product of opposite signs produces negative numbers while the product of same signs produces positive numbers. So the product of 1 * 1 * 1 * -1 = -1, while -1 * -1 * -1 * -1 = 1.
