Tony will get $8.26 back.
Here's why:
First, let's take $1.85 away from $13.59, because he has a coupon. That leaves us with $11.74
Second, do $20 - $11.74 to get your answer, $8.26
Answer:
$3 max
Step-by-step explanation:
Charge= b, Customer= c, Revenue= r
r= bc, currently, r= 16*10= $160
We know that: b+1 ⇒ c-2 and the target is r ≥ 130
So, this will all be reflected as:
b=10+x ⇒ c= 16-2x
- (10+x)(16-2x) ≥ 130
- 160 -20x +16x - 2x² ≥ 130
- -2x² - 4x + 30 ≥ 0
- x² + 2x -15 ≤ 0
- (x+1)² ≤ 4²
- x+1 ≤ 4 (negative value not considered)
- x ≤ 3
As we see the max increase amount is $3, when the revenue will be:
(10+3)*(16-3*2)= 13*10= $130
answer
$962.50
set up equation
first, we want to find out how many gallons of gas she'll save a year
x1 = gallons for old car
x2 = gallons for new car
gallons saved = x1 - x2 since she uses more gallons with the old car with a lower miles per gallon
then, find how much she saves on gas by multiply the price per gallon (3.85) by gallons saved
price saved = gallons saved * price
price saved = (x1 - x2) * 3.85
gallons with old car
to find the number of gallons, we divide the number of miles (15000) by miles per gallon (24 for the old car)
x1 = 15000 / 24
x1 = 625
gallons with new car
use the same process as with the old car, but with 40 miles per gallon instead
x2 = 15000 / 40
x2 = 375
plug in values
price saved = (x1 - x2) * 3.85
price saved = (625 - 375) * 3.85
price saved = 250 * 3.85
price saved = $962.50
