They must sell, 30 cups of lemonade. How I got my answer.

Since it cost $1.20 to start, and a cup of lemonade cost $0.6 to make and there selling them at $0.10 each. So we know they are making a $0.4 profit off of each cup of lemonade. We now have to multiply 4×30=120.

I hope this helps!

Answer:

<h2>They need to sell at least 13 cups to gain profits.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

  • The initial cost is $1.20.
  • Each cup of lemonade costs 6 cents to make.
  • May's children sell 10 cents a cup.

First, we need to represents the cost of their investment.

0.06x=1.20, because each cup costs 6 cents, and the initial costs of all is $1.20.

That means,

x=\frac{1.20}{0.06}= 20

They can produced 20 cups.

However, they already sell a cup for 10 cents. So, how many cups they need to sell to gain profits? We need to establish a similar relation,

0.10x=1.20\\x=\frac{1.20}{0.10} = 12  

This means if they sell 12 cups, they will just cover the investement, that is, zero profits.

Therefore, they need to sell at least 13 cups to gain profits.

Suppose you have $16,000 to invest in three stocks, A, B, and C. Stock A is a low-risk stock that has expected returns of 4%. St
podryga [215]

To solve this problem, let us say that:

money invested in stock A = A

money invested in stock B = B

money invested in stock C = C

The given problem states that:

C = A * (1 / 4) = 0.25 A

B = A * (1 / 2) = 0.50 A

It was stated that we only have $16,000 to invest. Therefore:

A + B + C = 16,000

Substituting values of C and B in terms of A:

A + 0.50 A + 0.25 A = 16,000

1.75 A = 16,000

A = $9,142.86

So C and B is:

C = 0.25 (9142.86)
C = $2285.71

 

B = 0.50 (9142.86)

B = $4571.43
