Profit = revenue - expenses

expenses : 125,000 + 6.50x
revenue : 9x
so to make a profit, ur revenue (income) has to be higher then ur expenses

revenue > expenses
A. ) 9x > 125,000 + 6.50x
9x - 6.50x > 125,000
2.5x > 125,000
x > 125,000 / 2.5
x > 50,000......so they would have to sell at least 50,001 devices to make a profit <==

B.) the cost of making 1 device is 10% more then the company predicted....10% more then 6.50.....6.50(1.10) = 7.15.....this is the new cost of making 1 device <==

9x > 125,000 + 7.15x ....this is the inequality with the 10% more added
9x - 7.15x > 125,000
1.85x > 125,000
x > 125,000 / 1.85
x > 67,567.5......so to make a profit, they would have to sell at least 67,568 devices to make a profit <==

Edward had 100 newspapers to deliver on his paper route. He had already delivered 25
kati45 [8]

Answer:

50 newspapers

Step-by-step explanation:

100 (total amount of newspapers) - 25 (amount Edward already sold) = 75 (amount of newspapers left)

75 (amount of newspapers left) ÷ 3 (Edward and his 2 friends) = 25 (equal amount each person delivered)

25 (amount Edward already sold) + 25 (amount Edward sold after his friends helped him) = 50 (amount of newspapers Edward sold in total)

jasenka [17]
<h2>Greetings!</h2>

Answer:

\frac{19}{12} feet

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to find the height after one year:

2.25 + 1 1/6 = \frac{41}{12}

Now to find the amount in the second year, we can subtract the above amount from 5:

5 - \frac{41}{12} = \frac{19}{12}

So in the second year it grew \frac{19}{12} feet

Lady bird [3.3K]

Length of rectangular prism = 8 feet

Width of rectangular prism = 6 feet

Height of rectangular prism = 12 feet

Volume of rectangular prism = Length \times Breadth \times Height

Volume of rectangular prism =8 \times 6 \times 12

Volume of rectangular prism =576 feet^3
