2Decrease R420 in the ratio 4:7​

Mathematics
1 answer:
Oxana [17]3 years ago
4 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers are 4x and 7x. According to the question if each number is increased by 20, the ratio becomes 7 : 9.

Then,

( 4x + 20 ) : ( 7x + 20 ) = 7 : 9

9( 4x + 20 ) = 7( 7x + 20 )

9( 4x ) + 9( 20 ) = 7( 7x ) + 7( 20 )

9( 20 ) - 7( 20 ) = 7( 7x ) - 9( 4x )

2( 20 ) = 49x - 36x

40 = 13 x

40 / 13 = x

Therefore, number are :–

4 x = 4( 40 / 13 ) = 160 / 13

7 x = 7( 40 / 13 ) = 280 / 13

faltersainse [42]

Answer:

30units,2900

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Country Motorbikes Incorporated finds that it costs $400 to produce each motorbike, and that fixed costs are $1600 per day.

The price function is p(x) = 700 − 5x, where p is the price (in dollars) at which exactly x motorbikes will be sold.

If x units are produced and sold we have

Costs for x units = variable costs *x +Fixed costs = 400x+1600

Sales revenue = no of units sold * price = x(700-5x) = 700x-5x^2

Profit funciton = P(x) = Sales revenue - Total cost

= 700x-5x^2-400x-1600\\=300x-5x^2-1600

To get maximum profit we use derivative test I derivative =0 and II derivative =negative

P'(x) = 300-10x\\p"(x) = -10

Producing 30 units will maximize the profit.

Max profit

=P(30) = 2900
