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.

What price in GH¢ should she sell the plates to maximize her revenue?​

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.

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

83°

Step-by-step explanation:

Since angle x and angle y are supplementary angles,

x + y = 180°.

Since y = 97°

x = 180° - y = 180° - 97° = 83°

Help me with graphing this<br> please explain
skelet666 [1.2K]

She must start out going 8 miles per hour until the time elapsed is 1 hour at which time she drops 1.5 miles per hour. The same happens again in the second hour and the third.

The graph must have hours on the x axis and speed on the y axis.

The starting point is (0,8)

The graph must be

y = 8 - 1.5x

You need three points.

x                  y

0                 8

1                  6.5

How do i write a direct variation given that y varies directly with x<br>x: 15 y: -5
sp2606 [1]
When we say that y varies <em>directly </em>with x, we mean that whatever value x is scaled up by, y will be scaled up by, too. The simplest kind of direct variation is one where y = x for all values of x. If you multiply x by some value, y must be multiplied by that same value.

More generally, though, you'll have something of the form y = kx, where the variable k here is referred to as the <em /><em>constant of proportionality.</em> Another way you can think of k is as the <em>ratio of y to x</em>.

In this problem, you're given a set of values for x and y, and you'll need to use those to find the constant of proportionality before you set up an equation relating x to y. Substituting our general equation y = kx for the given values, we have:

-5 = k(15)

To get k, simply divide both sides by 15 to obtain:

k = -5/15 = -1/3

So, our general equation, for <em>any x</em>, would be y = (-1/3)x

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

10\pi

Step-by-step explanation:

The penguin swam around half of the perimeter, or circumference, of the pool. The first step is to calculate that. You can find the circumference of a circle by multiplying the diameter by pi. Therefore, the circumference of this island is 20pi. Half of that is 10\pi meters. Hope this helps!
