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

3x-4=13 solve inequality plz show work !
dimulka [17.4K]
3x-4=13
First you want all your x's on one side, and all your ordinary numbers on the other.
Add four to both sides to get rid of the "-4" part on the left.
Your new equation is 3x = 17
Divide each side by 3 to find X.
x= 17/3 or 5 2/3

The expression P(4, 3) is equal to:<br> -3!<br> -4!<br> - 1
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

P(4,3) = 4!

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

P(4,3)

Required

Solve

Using permutation formula;

P(n,r) = \frac{n!}{(n-r)!}

This implies that

P(4,3) = \frac{4!}{(4-3)!}

P(4,3) = \frac{4!}{(1)!}

P(4,3) = \frac{4!}{1!}

P(4,3) = \frac{4!}{1}

P(4,3) = 4!
