Bart company charges a lower rate. It is lower by rate $ 0.5 per hour

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that Ace bike rentals rents bikes for $28 per day. Renters can keep the bike for 8 hours

Also given that Bart's bikes rents bikes for $30 per day. Renters can keep the bike for 10 hours

To find: company that charges lower rate

Let us find the hourly rate of Ace and Bart

$\text {hourly rate }=\frac{\text { Rental price }}{\text { total time in a day }}$

<em><u>Hourly rate of Ace company:</u></em>

Rental price = $28

total time in a day 8 hours

$\text {hourly rate }=\frac{28}{8}=3.5$

So the hourly rate of Ace company is $ 3.5 per hour

<em><u>Hourly rate of Bart company:</u></em>

Rental price = $ 30

total time in a day 10 hours

$\text {hourly rate }=\frac{30}{10}=3$

So the hourly rate of Bart company is $ 3 per hour

<em><u>Comparing hourly rate of both companies</u></em>

Ace company is $ 3.5 per hour

Bart company is $ 3 per hour

Bart company < Ace company

3 < 3.5

Thus bart company charges a lower rate

<h3><em><u>How much lower?</u></em></h3>

hourly rate of Ace company - hourly rate of Bart company = 3.5 - 3 = 0.5

So, it is lower by rate $0.5 per hour

From a thin piece of cardboard 30 in. by 30 in., square corners are cut out so that the sides can be folded up to make a box. Wh

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

Dimensions 5in x 10in x 10in will yeild a box with a max. volume of 500 cubic inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume = height x length x width

considering 'x' as the length of the square corners that has been cut out from the cardboard and also, that is height of the cardboard box.

square corners are cut out so that the sides can be folded up to make a box, cardboard sides would reduce by 2x

therefore,

V = x (30-2x) (30-2x) ---> eq(1)

V=( 30x - 2x²) (30-2x)

V= 900x- 60x² - 60x² + 4x³

V= 4x³ - 120 x²+ 900x

Taking derivative w.r.t 'x'

dV/dx = 12x² - 240 x +900

dV/dx = 4 (3x² - 60x +225)

For maximum dV/dx, make it equal zero

dV/dx = 0

so, 4 (3x² - 60x +225)=0

3x² - 60x+225=0 (taking 3 common)

x² - 20x + 75 =0

Solving this quadratic equation

x² - 15x -5x + 75 =0

x(x-15) - 5(x-15) =0

Either (x-15)=0

x=15

Or x-5=0

x = 5

if we substitute x=15 in eq(1), volume becomes zero.

therefore, x cannot be 15

When x= 5

eq(1)=>V = 5 (30-2(5)) (30-2(5))

V= 5 (10) (10)

V= 500 cubic inches,

Therefore, Dimensions 5in x 10in x 10in will yeild a box with a max. volume of 500 cubic inches

A bookstore manager marks down the price of older hardcover books, which originally sell for b dollars, by 42%. Part 1 out of 4

BigorU [14]

Answer:

0.42

Step-by-step explanation:

The original price of the old hardcover books was sold for b dollars. But the manager markdown the hardcover books by 42%.

The expression of the markdown using a decimal can be represented below.

Recall the markdown is 42 %. If you want to convert from percentage to a decimal, you have to move the decimal point two places to the left . The percentage sign is removed at this stage and the value is represent in decimal. Or you can just divide the percentage value by 100.

In our case the percentage value can be solved as 42/100 = 0.42 in decimal or by just simply moving the decimal points two places to the left which is 0.42.
