Answer and explanation:

Profit from sale of model boats = Sales -costs(costs of goods purchases + expenses or charges by the local fair)

John's profit from the sale of model boats can be represented by the equation:

P= 50x-(5x+80)

Where P is profit from the sale of the model boats and x is number of model boats bought and sold. The 80 is constant as it is a fixed cost paid to the local fair.

For example if John buys and sells 20 model boats, he would make profit of:

Substitute x=20 in equation above

P= 50×20-(5×20+80)

P=1000-180

P=$820

It could be said that John is in a very profitable business and his profit is also dependent on volume of sales because the lower his sales the closer he gets to making a loss and not profit

What is the missing number in the series?<br><br> 1, 16, 81, __, 625, 1296
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

256

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the series

1, 16, 81, __, 625, 1296

The missing number in the sequence is the fourth term

From the above sequence, we know that

1, 4², 9² , __, 25² , 36²

Difference between first term = 4 - 1 = 3

9 - 4 = 5

x - 9 = 7

x = 9 + 7 = 16

Hence, the fourth term = 16²

= 256
