Answer:cost of each pound of apple= $3

And cost of each pound of orange =$2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Let cost of apples = x

And cost of Oranges =y

Let 6 pounds of apples and 3 pounds of oranges cost 24 dollars be represented as

6 x + 3y= 24----- equation 1

Also, Let 5 pounds of apples and 4 pounds of oranges cost 23 dollars be represented as

5x+ 4y= 23----- equation 2

Step 2

6 x + 3y= 24----- equation 1

5x+ 4y= 23----- equation 2

Using substitution method to solve the equation

6 x + 3y= 24

24-6x=3y

y= 24-6x/3 = 8-2x

Y= 8-2x

Substituting the value of y= 8-2x  into equation 2

5x+ 4( 8-2x)= 23

5x+ 32 -8x= 23

32-23= 8x-5x

9=3x

x=9/3

x=3

Putting the value of x= 3 in equation 1 and solving to find y

6 x + 3y= 24

6(3) +3y= 24

18+3y=24

3y= 24-18

3y=6

y=6/3= 2

Therefore the cost of each pound of apple= $3

And cost of each pound of orange =$2

Length of the box = 25 - 2x
Width of the box = 14 - 2x
Height of the box = x

a.) Volume of the box = x(25 - 2x)(14 - 2x) = x(350 - 50x - 28x + 4x^2) = 4x^3 - 78x^2 + 350x
Therefore, the function that models the volume of the box is V(x) = 4x^3 - 78x^2 + 350x

b.) 4x^3 - 78x^2 + 350x ≥ 240
4x^3 - 78x + 350x - 240 ≥ 0
x = 0.834, 5.438
The values of x for which the volume is greater than 240 in^3 is 0.834 ≤ x ≤ 5.438

c.) For maximum volume, dV/dx = 0
dV/dx = 12x^2 - 156x + 350 = 0
x = 2.882910931

Therefore, maximum volume = 4(2.882910931)^3 - 78(2.882910931)^2 +350(2.882910931) = 453.798 in^3

Volgvan

Answer:

x = 22.5

Step-by-step explanation:

→ Remember how many degrees the point to a radius is

90°

→ Set up an equation

x + 3x = 90

→ Simplify

4x = 90

→ Divide both sides by 4

x = 22.5

Answer:

The equation representing money left as tip is y= \frac{15}{100}\times 38.

Money left as tip is $5.7.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total bill = $38

Tip = 15%

We need to find the money left as tip.

Solution:

Let money left as tip be represented by 'y'.

to find the money left as tip we will multiply tip percent with total bill and then divide by 100

Now framing the above quote in equation form we get;

y= \frac{15}{100}\times 38

Hence The equation representing money left as tip is y= \frac{15}{100}\times 38.

On Solving the equation we get;

y =\frac{15}{100}\times 38 =\$5.7

Hence Money left as tip is $5.7.
