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.

The perimeter of a square room is 52 meters. What is the cost of tiling it at $5 per square meter?
Ludmilka [50]
First we have to find the area. To do that, we first have to find the side lengths of the square. Since a square has all four sides same length, we can find this by dividing: 52/4 = 13

Now we'll find the area in square meters: 13 * 13 = 169
So the area is 169 square meters.
So to find out how much that will cost, we will multiply the number of square meters by the amount it cost per square meter: 169 * $5 = $845

So it will cost $845

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

To Find:

∑₁⁸i =?

Solution:

Σ   This symbol called Sigma means "summation up"

∴ ∑ n mean sum for all n

But if ∑₁³n means  Sum for n=1 , 2 ,and 3 ADD

∴ ∑₁³n = 1 + 2 + 3

∴ ∑₁⁸i = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8
