First, let’s all acknowledge that whoever comes up with problems like this WANTS kids to hate math...smh
I’m sure there is a prettier way to solve this, but here’s what I did:
8(2.25) + 3(22.50) =
18 + 67.50 = 85.50 per “set” of balls/jerseys
400/85.50 = 4.678 = number of “sets” he can buy. Round down to 4 so we have room for tax.
85.5 x 4 “sets”= $342
Tax on 342 is 0.06 x 342 = 20.52
$342 + 20.52 = $362.52 spent
Basketballs = 4 sets x 8 balls per set= 32
Jerseys = 4 sets x 3 jerseys per set= 12
32 basketballs, 12 jerseys, $362.52 spent
Answer:
- Minimum 100 bicycles
- Minimum cost is 13500
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given function:</u>
- C(x) = 3x^2- 600x + 43500
a.
Minimum cost is obtained at vertex.
Vertex is determined by formula x = -b/2a, in standard form of
f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c
<u>Vertex of the given function is:</u>
b.
<u>Cost at vertex is:</u>
- C(100) = 3*100^2 - 600*100 + 43500 = 13500
If the paint is 30% yellow, and you used 72 ounces of yellow, all you have to do is divide 72 by 30% to get the whole amount of ounces of paint made.
72 ÷ 0.30 = 240
In the last batch, you made 240 ounces of melon madness paint.
