If popcorn is p and water is w the equation can be written as
3p + w = 9.25
because there was 3 boxes of popcorn and one water (hence the coefficients) and the total is 9.25
then plug in 1.75 for w the price of water:
3p+ 1.75 = 9.25
you can move stuff around algebraically now (subtract 1.75 on both sides and divide by three on both aides) to get the cost of one box of popcorn (p).
The answer is 2.50
you would divide both sides by 6 to get your answer. i hope this helps :)
Answer:
a)
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost function = revenue function - profit function
= -0.3x² + 150x - [-0.5x² + 250x - 300]
= -0.3x² + 150x + 0.5x² - 250x +300
= -0.3x² + 0.5x² + 150x - 250x + 300 {Combine like terms}
= 0.2x² - 100x + 300
N<1 or n<4
so the point could fall between 1 and 4
