To earn a profit, the revenue must be greater than the cost. The revenue for selling x units of an item is R = 26.05x. The cost

to make x units is C = 1,500 + 16.75x. The owner claims she had a profit today because they made and sold 183 units of the item. Is her claim true?
a. Yes, because R > C when x = 183.

b. Yes, because R < C when x = 183

c. No, because R > C when x = 183.

d.No, because R < C when x = 183.

Answer:

a. Yes. The owner made a profit, because R > C when x = 183.

Step-by-step explanation:

(1) Calculate the revenue

R = 26.05x = 26.05 × 183 = 4767.15

(2) Calculate the cost

C = 1500 + 16.75x = 1500 + 16.75 ×183 = 1500 + 3065.25 = 4565.25

(3) Calculate the profit

P = R – C = 4767.1 – 4565.25 = 201.90

P > 0. The owner made a profit, because R > C when x = 183.

In the graphs below, the red line represents costs and the blue line represents revenues.

We see that C > R until we reach the break-even point at 162 units. After 162 units, R > C, and the business makes a profit. This, making 183 units is profitable for the company.

Marilyn is a salesperson at Open to Clothes. Each month she earns $650 plus 6% of her total monthly sales. How much did she earn
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

Her monthly income=$1,082

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Express the total monthly pay:

The total monthly pay can be expressed as follows;

A=F+(R×T)

where;

A=the total monthly income

F=fixed income per month

R=commission rate

T=total monthly sales

In our case;

F=$650 a week

R=6%=6/100=0.06

T=$7200

replacing;

A=650+(6% of 7,200)

A=650+(0.06×7,200)

A=650+432=1,082

A=$1,082

Her monthly income=$1,082

What is the quotient (125 – 8x3) ÷ (25 + 10x + 4x2)?
ahrayia [7]
Your answer is:
(125 - 8x^3) / (25 + 10x + 4x^2) = - ((2x - 5) * (4x^2 + 10x + 25)) / (4x^2 + 10x + 25) = - (2x - 5) = - 2x + 5

The correct result would be - 2x + 5.
