A manager is comparing the cost of buying ball caps with the team emblem from two different companies. Company X charges a $50 f

ee plus $7 per cap. Company Y charges a $30 fee plus $9 per cap. For what number of ball caps will the manager's cost be the same from both companies?

Answer:

10 ball caps

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are trying to know the number of caps the manger would buy that would equate the cost at both companies.

How do we get this?

Since we do not know the number of caps, let’s assign a variable. Let the number of caps that is required be x. Let’s now make some costings in terms of x. We proceed;

Company X charges $50 fee plus $7 per cap. Total amount company X will charge on x caps will be; $50 + $7(x) = $50 + $7x

Company Y will charge $30 plus $9 per cap. Total amount company Y will charge on x caps will be $30 + $9(x) = $30 + $9x

We are trying to look at the value of x that will make both costs equal. What we do is to equate both costs.

30 + 9x = 50 + 7x

We simply by taking like terms to the same sides

9x-7x = 50-30

2x = 20

x = 20/2 = 10

X = 10

So what this means is that manger has to buy 10 caps to have the same cost in both companies

The mass of the particles that a river can transport is proportional to the sixth power of the speed of the river. A certain riv
kari74 [83]
The river flows at 2 miles per hour. This is the speed of the current, or the speed at which the water itself is moving.

The mass of the particles moving in river is proportional to the sixth power of 2, or 2^6 = 64 miles per hour. So, if x is the mass of the particle, then the speed is modeled by an inverse relationship x * 2^6 = k, for some constant k. 

For particles that are 15 times the usual mass, the speed of the river itself must increase for the particles to travel at the same speed as before. The mass of the particles is still proportional to the sixth power of the speed of the river, but the speed of the river can no longer be 2 miles per hour. It is some speed y, which we are solving for.

So, the key here is proportional. We can set up two proportions and cross multiply.

\dfrac{x}{2^6} =  \dfrac{15x}{y^6}  \\ (x)(y^6)=(2^6)(15x)

Cancelling our x's (because we don't need to solve for them), we have

y^6 = 15(2^6) = 15(64)=960

To solve for y, we must take the sixth root of both sides, or raise both sides to the one-sixth power.

\sqrt[6]{y^6} =  \sqrt[6]{960}

Using a calculator, we see that \sqrt[6]{960} = 3.14 \ miles \ per \ hour.
