Answer:

a) n = (p + 450) / 30

b) The Minimum number of cakes is 32

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

p = 30n - 450, where p is the profit in dollars from selling a number of cakes

(n).

a) to calculate the number of cakes (n) needed to be sold for a given profit, we need to make  the number of cakes (n) the subject of formula for the equation.

p = 30n - 450

Adding 450 to both sides:

p + 450 = 30n - 450 + 450

30n = p + 450

Dividing through by 30:

30n / 30 = (p + 450) / 30

n = (p + 450) / 30

b)

If the profit is at least $500, the Minimum number of cakes (n) is:

n > (p + 450) / 30

n > (500 + 450) / 30

n > 950 / 30

n > 31.67

n ≈ 32

The Minimum number of cakes is 32

klemol [59]

Answer:

Distance = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the distance formula, plug in the two points:

d = sqrt(9-(-3))^2+(-3-2)^2

d = sqrt(12)^2+(-5)^2

d = sqrt144+25

d = sqrt169

d = 13
