Answer:

x (40-10) -12000≥980

The factory must sell 433 backpacks to meet its weekly goal.

Hi, to answer this question we have to write an inequality.

So, since the backpacks (x) are sold by $40 and the cost of making one is $10, the revenue per bag is equal to 40x and the cost is 10x.

12,000 of operating expenses are also expenses.

So, for the profit:

Profit = revenue- cost

P = 40x-10x-12,000

P = x (40-10)-12000

The factory goal is to make a profit of at least $980 each week, so, the profit must be greater or equal than 980.

x (40-10) -12000≥980

Solving for x

30x-12000≥980

30x≥980+12000

30x ≥12980

x≥12980/30

x≥432.6

x≥433 (rounded, because if the sell 432 they will not meet the goal)

The factory must sell 433 backpacks to meet its weekly goal.

Airida [17]

Answer:

The energy in object is 3.8 Kilo Joules.  

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Mass = 20 kg

Height,h = 20 m

g=9.5 m/s^2

Formula:

Potential energy  =

E = Mgh

Putting value we get,

E = 20(20)(9.5)\\E = 3800~J\\E = 3.8~KJ

Thus, the energy in object is 3.8 Kilo Joules.

Data

7 red flowers

3 white flowers

5 yellow flowers

Probability  that he select a red one

 P(A) = Number of favorable cases of A / total number of outcomes

Number of favorable cases = 7

Total number of outcomes = 7 + 3 + 5 = 15

Substitution

                      P(A) = 7 / 15

                      P(A) = 0.47
