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.

Miss Thomas has a scout Troop.ms thomas wants the fifteen scouts to each have eighten feathers to decorate picture frames . ms.
Mumz [18]

We know that,

Number of scouts = 15

Number of feathers required by each scout = 18

Hence, Total Number of feathers required = 15 * 18 = 270

We also know that Number of feathers in each bag = 12

Hence, number of bags required to decorate picture frames = Total number of feathers required ÷ number of feathers in each bag

⇒ Number of bags required to decorate picture frames = 270 ÷ 12

⇒ Number of bags required to decorate picture frames = 22.5

Since half a bag can't be bought 23 bags would be required.

A farmer wants to build a rectangular garden 10ft long and 6ft wide. How many feet of fencing should he buy?
Lana71 [14]
He should buy 32 feet of fencing. I got 32 by just finding the perimeter or in other words adding 10+10+6+6 which equal 32. You would NOT do area or 10×6 because that would include that land within the fenced area and who wants 60 feet of fencing that you can't put anything in?

Good luck, hope that helped.
