Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
As you can see, this is a quadratic equation and if you were to graph this you would see that it is a parabola that opens down because of the negative leading coefficient (-34). The maximum profit would be at the vertex, of the graph. Therefore, we need to find the value of "y" when "x" is the line of symmetry. We find this by x=-b/(2a) where a = -34 and b = 1542:
x=-1542/(2)(-34)
x=-152/-68
x=152/68
We put this value of "x" into the original formula to find out the value of "y":
y=-34x^2+1542x-10037
y=(-34)(1542/68)^2+1542(1542/68)-10037
y= -17483.5588235 + 34967.1176471 -10037
y=7446.5588236
Therefore, the maximum profit would be $7446.56.
Hope this helps!

All you do is plug in -7 so you get f(x)=8(-7)*15 you get -56*15 which goes to -840
Answer:
Discount percentage = 10.5% (Approx)
Therefore the discount is seller offering you is 10.5 % .
Step-by-step explanation:
Discount = Marked price - Selling price
As given
You are offered an item for $17.85. If the seller states he normally sells the same item for $19.95 .
Here
Marked price = $19.95
Selling price = $17.85
Discount = 19.95 - 17.85
= $2.1
Discount percentage = 10.5% (Approx)
Therefore the discount is seller offering you is 10.5 % .
Answer:
216 cookies
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question,
Let the total cookies in the first place be x cookies.
Their ratio = 5:12:9
Total = 5+12+9 = 26.
Weiming share = (5/26)x = 5x/26
If weiming sold 28 cookies
⇒ (5x/26)-28
⇒ (5x-728)/28
Hence Weiming new share = (5x-728)/28 cookies
The new ratio is 1:8:6
The total cookies becomes = x-28
Therefore,
(1/15)(x-28) = (5x-728)/28
(x-28)/15 = (5x-728)/28
Crossmultiply
28(x-28) = 15(5x-728)
28x-784 = 75x-10920
Collect like terms
28x-75x = -10920+784
-47x = -10136
x = -10136/-47
x = 215.7
x ≈ 216 cookies
