Answer:

restaurant should charge $(6-0.25) = $5.75per sandwich to maximize daily revenue.

the revenue is $1983.75

Step-by-step explanation:

to calculate current revenue= $6 x 330 = $1980

suppose x as the number of times the price to be dropped by $0.25

then find new price.. i.e

new price= $(6-0.25x)

and, new sell=330 +15x sandwiches

therefore, the new revenue would be= (6-0.25x)(330 +15x)

in order to maximize the current revenue, simplify the above equation and make it complete square using x

(6-0.25x)(330 +15x)

=1980-82.5x +90x -3.75x^{2}

=1980 + 7.5x -3.75x^{2}

=1980-3.75 (-2x+x^{2}) ----> taking out common

now, to make a complete square lets add and subtract 1 inside the parentheses

=1980-3.75(-1+1-2x+x^{2})

=1980 +3.75 -3.75(x^{2} -2x +1)

=1983.75 -3.75 (x-1)^{2}---->(1)

as (x-1)^{2} is positive always, minimize the other term in order to maximize the total revenue.

so the minimum possible value of (x-1)^{2} = 0

therefore, x=1

putting x in eq(1) the revenure becomes,

$(1983.75-0)=> $1983.75

therefore, restaurant should charge $(6-0.25) = $5.75per sandwich to maximize daily revenue.

the revenue is $1983.75

If a watermelon weighs 6 255 grams and a scales measures the weight 6 475 grams. What is the scales percent error
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:scales percent error=3.51%

Step-by-step explanation:

P ercent error = Experimental value - Theoretical value /Theoretical value  x 100

Theoretical value = 6255 grams

Experimental value ( use of scale ) = 6475grams

Percent error =(6475- 6255)grams / 6255grams x 100

=220/6255 x 100

=3.51%
