A customer wants to tile their sunroom using 12" x24" tile which comes 9 pieces to a box the room is 8' by 9'6" calculate how ma

AysviL [449]

The number of pieces The customer will need actually is 38 tiles

The number of tiles in boxes the customer will buy is 45 tiles

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the problem we will do these steps

1. Change the dimensions of the room from feet to inches

2. Calculate the area of the room

3. Calculate the area of one tile

4. Divide the area of the room by the area of the tile to find the number

of tills

5. Divide the number of tiles by the number of pieces in one box

to find the number of boxes he will need to buy

∵ The dimensions of the room are 8 feet by 9 feet 6 inches

∵ 1 foot = 12 inches

∴ 8 feet = 8 × 12 = 96 inches

∴ 9 feet 6 inches = 9 × 12 + 6 = 108 + 6 = 114 inches

∴ The dimensions of the sun room are 96" by 114"

The area of a rectangle is length × width

∵ Area of the room = 96 × 114 = 10944 inches²

∵ The dimensions of a tile are 12" by 24"

∴ Area of a tile = 12 × 24 = 288 inches²

∵ The number of tiles = Area room ÷ area tile

∴ The number of tiles = 10944 ÷ 288 = 38 tiles

The number of pieces The customer will need is 38 tiles

V.I.N:

The tiles come in boxes each box contains 9 pieces

∵ 38 ÷ 9 = 4.22

∴ He will need to buy 5 boxes with 45 tiles

The number of tiles in boxes is 45 tiles

A restaurant operator in Accra has found out that during the lockdown,if she sells a plate of her food for Ghc 20 each,she can s

The demand equation illustrates the price of an item and how it relates to the demand of the item.

The slope of the demand function is -1/2
The equation of the demand function is: $R(x) = (300 - 10x) \times (20 + 5x)$
The price that maximizes her revenue is: Ghc 85

From the question, we have:

$Plates = 300$

$Price = 20$

The number of plates (x) decreases by 10, while the price (y) increases by 5. The table of value is:

$\begin{array}{cccccc}x & {300} & {290} & {280} & {270} & {260} \ \\ y & {20} & {25} & {30} & {35} & {40} \ \end{array}$

The slope (m) is calculated using:

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

So, we have:

$m = \frac{25-20}{290-300}$

$m = \frac{5}{-10}$

$m = -\frac{1}{2}$

The equation of the demand is as follows:

The initial number of plates (300) decreases by 10 is represented as: (300 - 10x).

Similarly, the initial price (20) increases by 5 is represented as: (20 + 5x).

So, the demand equation is:

$R(x) = (300 - 10x) \times (20 + 5x)$

Open the brackets to calculate the maximum revenue

$R(x) =6000 + 1500x - 200x - 50x^2$

$R(x) =6000 + 1300x - 50x^2$

Equate to 0

$6000 + 1300x - 50x^2 =0$

Differentiate with respect to x

$1300 - 100x =0$

Collect like terms

$100x =1300$

Divide by 100

$x =13$

So, the price at maximum revenue is:

$Price= 20 + 5x$

$Price= 20 + 5 * 13$

$Price= 85$

In conclusion:

The slope of the demand function is -1/2
The equation of the demand function is: $R(x) = (300 - 10x) \times (20 + 5x)$
The price that maximizes her revenue is: Ghc 85
