model?

Answer:

y=100-20x

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the x-axis be the time (in years) and the y-axis the value of the fax machine (in dollars).

We know that the initial value of the fax machine is $100; in other words, when the time is zero years, the value is $100, or as an ordered pair (0, 100). We also know that after 1 year the value decreases to $80, so (1, 80).

Now we can find the slope of the line passing through those two points using the slope formula

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

where

m is the slope

(x_1,y_1) are the coordinates of the first point

(x_2,y_2) are the coordinates of the second point

Replacing values:

m=\frac{80-100}{1-0}

m=-20

Now, to complete our model we are using the point slope formula

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

where

m is the slope

(x_1,y_1) are the coordinates of the first point

Replacing values:

y-100=-20(x-0)

y-100=-20x

y=-20x+100

y=100-20x

We can conclude that the correct linear depreciation model is y=100-20x

AlekseyPX

Answer:

It is a case of classical probability.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are selecting a number between 1 and 100 randomly which is divisible by 14 the only favorable cases are 14,28,42,56,70,84,98 which are 7 cases out of 100 total numbers thus the required probability becomes

P(E)=\frac{7}{100}=0.07

The Naturally Made Bath and Body store pays $550 a month for rent and utilities. The average cost for its products to be manufac
Llana [10]

Answer:

Break-even point is at quantity 220.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the rent amount that is fixed cost for the store = $550

The average cost of the goods = $3

The average price of the goods = $5.50

Let the total number of break-even items = Q

Thus, total revenue = 5.50 x Q = 5.50Q

At break-even, TR = TC

5.50Q = FC + VC

5.50Q = 550 + 3Q

5.50Q - 3Q = 550

2.50Q = 550

Q = 550 / 2.50

Q = 220

Thus break-even point is at quantity 220.
