How many computers must the AB Computer Company sell to break even? Let x be the number of computers.

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

The Company AB must sell 116 computers to break even

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$R(x)=1.5x$ -----> equation A

$C(x)=145+\frac{1}{4}x$ ----> equation B

where

C is the cost function

R is the revenue function

x is the number of computers sold

we know that

Break even is when the cost is equal to the revenue

so

equate equation A and equation B

$1.5x=145+\frac{1}{4}x$

Solve for x

subtract 1/4x both sides

$1.5x-\frac{1}{4}x=145$

$1.5x-0.25x=145$

$1.25x=145$

Divide by 1.25 both sides

$x=116$

therefore

The Company AB must sell 116 computers to break even

The heights of four boys measured 152.0cm, 150.75cm, 149.5cm and 149.25cm. Bradley is the tallest, Calvin is taller than Josh, b

nataly862011 [7]

I believe the answer would be 150.75 cm as Marks height. I got this by if Bradley is the tallest, he would be 152.0 and if Calvin is taller than Josh, who is the shortest, the only height left would be Marks at 150.75
