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

she can sell 300 plates, but for each GH¢5 she raises the price, 10 less plates are sold.
Draw a table of cost relating to number of plates using 6 values of cost and its corresponding number of plates bought.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, note this parameters from the question.

We let x = number of $5 increases and number of 10 decreases in plates sold.

Our Revenue equation is:

R(x) = (300-10x)(10+5x)

We expand the above equation into a quadratic equation by multiplying each bracket:

R(x) = 3000 + 1500x - 3000x - 1500x^2

R(x) = -1500x^2 - 1500x + 3000 (collect like terms)

Next we simplify, by dividing through by -1500

= 1500x^2/1500 - 1500x/1500 + 3000/1500

= X^2 - x + 2

X^2 - x + 2 = 0

Next, we find the axis of symmetry using the formula x = -b/(2*a) where b = 1, a = 1

X = - (-1)/2*1

X = 1/2

Number of $5 increases = $5x1/2 = $2.5

=$2.5 + $20 = $22.5 ticket price gives max revenue.

What is the measure of a single interior angle in a 16-gon?
kvv77 [185]

The equation to find the interior angles of a regular polygon is S = (n - 2)*180/n, so you do 16-2=14, then multiply 14 by 180 to get 2520. You then divide that by 16 to get 157.5.

Out of 75,000 voters in a constituency 65%
serious [3.7K]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

\large\boxed{35\%\,\text{did not vote;}\,48,750\,\text{voted}}

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

In this question, we're trying to find the amount of people that did not vote and the percentage of people that didn't vote.

We know that 65% of people voted and percents are out of 100%.

We would subtract 65 form 100 to get out percentage that didn't vote.

100-65=35

35% of people didn't vote.

Now, we can solve the next question.

A total of 75,000 people voted. What we're going to have to do is find how much of 75,000 is 65%.

We would do this by multiplying 75,000 by 0.65

75,000*0.65=48,750

This means that 48,750 people voted.

<h3>I hope this helped you out.</h3><h3>Good luck on your academics.</h3><h3>Have a fantastic day!</h3>
