Hello!

*I'm not very good at algebra, so I am not 100% sure this is correct!*

w = cost of washer

d = cost of dryer

w + d = $586

w = d - 64

d - 64 + d = 586

2d = 586 + 64

2d = 650

d = 650 / 2 = 325

586 - 325 = 261

Check 325 - 261 = 64

So, the dryer costs $325 and because the washer is $64 less than the dryer, it costs $261.

The cost to manufacture a product is proportional to the quantity produced, with a cost of $35000 dollars per day when 700 items

ollegr [7]

Solution :

$T_1$ = k.n (cost proportional to quantity)

35000 = k . 700

k = $\frac{35000}{700}$

= 50

So $T_1$ = 50 n

Now $T_2=Pn^2$ (cost proportional to square of n)

$3430= P(700)^2$

3430 = 490000 P

$P = \frac{3430}{490000}$

$P = \frac{7}{1000}$

$T_2=\frac{7}{1000}n^2$

Now, $T_3= 7000$ (fixed)

Therefore,

Total, $T=T_1+T_2+T_3$

$T=50n+\frac{7}{1000}n^2+7000$

$T=0.007n^2+50n+7000$

With each of them saving $17 a week for 3 weeks, they will be able to save up $153 after three weeks. Adding this amount to the original amount they had will give them $467. Obviously, they will not have enough money to buy the gift they want for their mother. They will be short of $48.
