The Vilas County News earns a profit of $20 per year for each of its 3,000 subscribers. Management projects that the profit per

subscriber would increase by 1¢ for each additional subscriber over the current 3,000. How many subscribers are needed to bring a total profit of $109,725?

Answer:

850

Step-by-step explanation:

Current profit per year = $ 20

Number of subscribers = 3000

For each additional subscriber over 3000, the profit will increase by 1 cent or by $ 0.01. For example, for 3001 (3000 + 1) subscribers, the profit will be $ 20.01 per year. Similarly, for 3002 (3000 + 2) subscribers, the profit will be $20.02 per year and so on.

So, for x additional subscribers over 3000, the profit will increase by 0.01(x). i.e. for (3000 + x) subscribers, the profit will be $(20 + 0.01x)

Since, profit per each subscriber is $(20 + 0.01x), the profit for (3000 + x) subscribers will be:

Total profit = Number of subscribers x Profit per each subscriber

Total profit = (3000 + x)(20 + 0.01x)

We want to calculate how many subscribers will be needed to bring a profit of $109,725. So, we replace Total profit by $109,725. The equation now becomes:

109725=(3000+x)(20+0.01x)\\\\ 109725=60000+30x+20x+0.01x^{2}\\\\ 0.01x^{2}+50x+60000-109725=0\\\\ 0.01x^{2}+50x-49725=0\\

Using quadratic formula, we can solve this equation as:

\\ x=\frac{-50 \pm \sqrt{50^{2}-4(0.01)(-49725)}}{2(0.01)}\\\\ x=\frac{-50 \pm67}{0.02}\\\\ x=\frac{-50-67}{0.02} , x=\frac{-50+67}{0.02}\\\\  x=-5850, x=850

x = -5850 is not a possible solution as this would make the total number of subscribers to be negative. So we reject this value.

Therefore, the answer to this question is 850. 850 more subscribers are needed to being a total profit of $109,725

Scores of an IQ test have a bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 12. Use the empirical rule t
MissTica

Answer:

A) 99.7% of people have an IQ between 64 and 136.

B) 5% of people have an IQ score less than 76 or greater than 124.

C) 16% of people have an IQ score greater than 112.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule tells us that, in a normal or 'bell-shaped' distribution, 68% of the data is one standard deviation from the mean, 95% of the data is two standard deviations from the mean, and 99.7% of the data is three standard deviations from the mean.

A) 64 and 136 are 3 standard deviations away from the mean, so 99.7% of people have an IQ between 64 and 136.

B) 76 and 124 are 2 standard devations away from the mean, but the answer is asking what percentage is not between them. 100% - 95% gives us 5%.

C) 112 is one standard deviation away from the mean. If we want to find the percentage greater, then we can do 100% - 50% (as 112 is to the left of the mean), then we can take half of 68 to get 34%, and after subtracting 50% and 34% from the 100%, we get 16%.

Which one is the right one? Help me please.
frez [133]

Answer:

90 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem you first need to convert minutes to hours since the unit is km/h. Doing this we get half an hour (1 hour=60 mins so you divide 30 by 60) after converting you simply divide 45 by 1/2 or .5 to get the answer.

What is the length of a diagonal of a cube with a side length of 10 cm? 200 cm 210cm 300 cm 320cm
Scilla [17]

Answer:

The length of the diagonal of the cube = √(3 × 10²) = √300 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise the properties of the cube

- It has six equal faces all of them are squares

- It has 12 vertices

- The diagonal of the cube is the line joining two vertices in opposite

 faces (look to the attached figure)

- To find the length of the diagonal do that:

# Find the diagonal of the base using Pythagoras theorem

∵ The length of the side of the cube is L

∵ The base is a square

∴ The length of the diagonal d = √(L² + L²) = √(2L²)

- Now use the diagonal of the base and a side of a side face to find the

 diagonal of the cube by Pythagoras theorem

∵ d = √(2L²)

∵ The length of the side of the square = L

∴ The length of the diagonal of the cube = √[d² + L²]

∵ d² = [√(2L²)]² = 2L² ⇒ power 2 canceled the square root

∴ The length of the diagonal of the cube = √[2L² + L²] = √(3L²)

* Now lets solve the problem

∵ The length of the side of the square = 10 cm

∴ The length of the diagonal of the cube = √(3 × 10²) = √300 cm

- Note: you can find the length of the diagonal of any cube using

 this rule Diagonal = √(3L²)
