Simplifying the expression would be 19.76.
3/11 *2 = 6/22
3/11 *3= 9/33
3/11 *4 = 12/44
You have two choices.
The minimum possible cost to operate your bat factory for a day is $390,
and there are two quantities of bats that both cost that much.
One possibility:
Produce no bats at all per day. Zero. Nada. None.
Cost = 0.06(0)² - 7.2(0) + 390 = $390 per day.
The other choice:
Produce 120 bats per day.
Cost = 0.06(120²) - 7.2(120) + 390
= 0.06(14,400) - 7.2(120) + 390
= 864 - 864 + 390
= $390 per day.
If you produce any other number of bats in a day ... more than zero
but not 120 ... then it will cost you more than $390 to operate the factory
that day.
For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables:
x: number of pillowcases
y: number of sheets
We now write the system of equations:
2x + 5y = 40
x = 2y
Solving the system we have:
x = 8.9
y = 4.4
Answer:
The maximum number of pillowcases she could have purchased is:
x = 8 (spent less than $ 40)
