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 weight of a square if a triangle weighs 4 grams? Explain your reasoning
stellarik [79]

Answer:

8 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

The balance is in equilibrium, so the weights of the two sides are equal.

Let the weight of a square be s.

Left side: 2s + 4

Right side: s + 3(4) = s + 12

The weights are equal, so we set the two expressions equal.

2s + 4 = s + 12

s = 8

Answer: The weight of a square is 8 grams.

I need help with this,, will give brianliest and +15 points
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

41x² - 27x + 27

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of Rectangle:

= 2(20x²-12x+4) + 2(5x²-5x+15)

= 40x²-24x+8 + 10x²-10x+30

= 50x²-34x+38

Perimeter of Triangle:

= 6x²+6x+3x+3+3x²-2x+8

= 9x²+7x+11

Difference:

(50x²-9x²)+(-34x+7x)+(38-11)

= 41x² - 27x + 27
