Answer:

  • 16 acres of barley only (no acres of wheat)

Step-by-step explanation:

A graph shows cost of planting puts an upper limit on planted area. The lower limit is provided by the requirement to plant at least 15 acres. The vertices of the feasible solution region are ...

  (wheat acres, barley acres) = {(0, 15), (0, 16), (3, 12)}

The profit associated with these scenarios will be ...

  for (0, 16): 16·350 = 5600

  for (3, 12): 3·450 +12·350 = 1350 +4200 = 5550

To maximize profit, the farmer should plant 16 acres of barley.

A man bought a bicycle for $400 and sold it at a loss of 35%. How much money did he lose?
DedPeter [7]
If he bought the bike for $400 and lost 35% of his profit, you would divide 35 by 100. Next, you would multiply that number (0.35) by 400. When you do that, you get an answer of $140. In conclusion, if he bought the bike for $400 and sold it at a loss of 35%, he would lose $140 from that $400. 

Additionally, if you wanted to know what exactly he sold it for, you would simply subtract 140 from 400. Which would be $260.

So, he bought the bike for $400, but when he resold it, he lost $140 of that pay. Basically, he resold the bike for $260. 

I hope this helps! :) Let me know if you need help with anything else!

Which of the following theorems proves that abc~def?
GaryK [48]

Answer:

D but read below.

Step-by-step explanation:

I take it that the symbol ~ stands for similar. If that is so, then the answer you want is AA, because if 2 angles in a triangle are equal, then all 3 are. So if any 2 equal angles in one triangle are equal to 2 angles in another, then the two triangles are similar.
