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.

Elodia [21]
Distance after 1 minute = speed * time = 275 * 60 = 16,500 feet
Let the altitude of the plane be y, then
sin 18 = y/16500
y = 16500 sin 18 = 5,098.78 feet

Plz I need help with 1 and 2 please help me
Vikki [24]
When finding slope the answer is always going to be rise/run so in this case,

#1 would be 1/2 (bc it goes up one and right 2)

#2 we have a rise of 3 and a run of 3 leaving our slope to be 3/3 simplified simply being 1

another trick you could use is dividing the denominator by the numerator

arsen [322]

Answer:

D. 1200 mg

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the solution we need to understand that a dosage of 20 mg/kg means that 20 mg are administered to the patient for each kg of his/her weight.

So, if the patient weight is 60 kg then:

Total drug X = (20mg/Kg)*(60Kg)=1200mg.

In conclusion, 1200 mg will be administered to the patient, so the answer is D.

What does factorial of several numbers mean??
vovikov84 [41]
A factorial of 7 numbers is just multiplying 7 numbers together like this 1*2*3*4*5*6*7, which equals 5040.

If you wanted to get fancy, you could reword the questions and say, "what is the factorial of 5040?" In that case the answer is 1*2*3*4*5*6*7
