Interesting problem.
First - let's figure cost of each uniform at purchase.
3,000/40 = $75 each
When some uniforms were returned at $40 - there was a difference of $35 in what they paid and what they rec'd in return. ($75 - 35 = $40)
Answer:
64
Step-by-step explanation:
The common difference is 80 / (8 - 3)
= 16
So f(18) - f(14) = (18 - 14) * 16
= 54
Answer:
20 mens are needed to contruct a building in 32 days.
To minimize the cost, we take the straight distance from the refinery to the other side of the river as 2 km. Also, the 7 km will be the distance that has to be traveled by the pipeline in land. The total cost, C, is therefore,
total cost = (2 km)($800,000/km) + (7 km)($400,000 /km)
total cost = $4,400,000
Thus, the total cost of the pipeline is approximately $4,400,000.00.
