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.

A or B or C or D which expression??​
zhenek [66]

Answer:

option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that you need to emulate the series: 1 + 5 + 25 + 125 + 625 (a five total term series)

with the indicated sums.

The first term in the your series (addition) has to be "1". This fact already gets rid of two of the suggested sums (B, and D) because their first term is 5^1=5.

So, now analyzing the options A and C, we notice that A has a sum from i=0 to 4 (which gives a total of five terms ao, a1, a2, a3, and a4, while option C has a total of six terms (from i = 0 to 5): a0, a1, a2, a3, a4, a5.

S, the obvious candidate is option A. So now evaluate the five terms corroborating that:

5^0 + 5^1+5^2+5^3+5^4=\\=1+5+25+125+625

Therefore, option A is the answer

Drag steps in the given order to evaluate this expression. <br><br> (4)(−3)−5−3(−6)
never [62]

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

using PEDMAS(parentheses, exponents, division, multiply, addition, subtraction) to solve the problem

First we multiply (4)(-3)

(4)(−3)−5−3(−6)

Then multiply -3(-6)

(-12)-5-3(-6)

=-12-5+18

subtract 12-5

-12-5+18

=-17+18

Adding -17+18 gives us 1.

Therefore,  (4)(−3)−5−3(−6) is 1.
