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.

Answer:

The total cash received is $30740.

Step-by-step explanation:

Montana Company sold merchandise with a retail price of $ 29,000 for cash. Montana Company is required to collect a 6 ​% state sales tax.

Therefore, the total cash received from customer = Retail Price + State Sales Tax.

= $30740

Hence, the total cash received is $30740. (Answer)

Ginny divided the cake into 12 pieces. She gave 4 pieces to Sammy. What fraction of the cake did she have left?
In-s [12.5K]

Answer: 2/3 or 1/3

Step-by-step explanation: If we have a cake that has a total of 12 pieces, and we gave four to someone else we would have 8/12 pieces left. Now if we simplify then we would have 2/3 left.

Alternate explanation: Now if we just want to divide 4/12 then we would have 1/3.

I'm happy to help let me know if I'm wrong!

Sholpan [36]

Answer:

x=2.17

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 +18x+81=-4

            -81  -81

x^2 +18x= -85

    /18       /18

x^2= -4.7

\sqrt{x^2}= \sqrt{-4.7}

x= 2.17
