Answer:

He needs to sell approximately 4331 books to break even

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of books to be produced be = y

Total cost of production ($)

= 55000+2.3(x)

Price of the book sold($)= 15

Total money from sales= 15(x)

For the publisher to break even, the cost must be equal to the total money from sales.

55000+2.3(x)= 15x

55000= 15x-2.3x

55000= 12.7x

55000/12.7= x

4330.71= x

He needs to sell approximately 4331 books to break even

angel hikes at a rate of 2.4 miles per hour. If he hikes for 1/3 of an hour, how many miles will he hike?
Yuki888 [10]
So Angel hikes at 2.4 miles per hour. This says that in one hour he hikes 2.4 miles. In 1/3 of an hour then he would hike 1/3 of 2.4 miles, which is 2.4/3, or 0.8.

24x-45y=34x

To solve for y, subtract 24x:
-45y=10x

Divide by -45:
y=-10/45x

Reduce:
y=-2/9x

To solve for x, subtract 24x:
-45y=10x

Divide by 10:
-45/10y=x

Reduce:
-9/2y=x

In the summertime your friend wants to have a snow cone stand at a local grocery store parking lot. You want to make sure he act
Vitek1552 [10]
a) The total monthly cost is the sum of the fixed cost and the variable cost. If q represents the number of cones sold in a month, the monthly cost c(q) is given by 
   c(q) = 300 + 0.25q

b)
If q cones are sold for $1.25 each, the revenue is given by
   r(q) = 1.25q

c)
Profit is the difference between revenue and cost.
   p(q) = r(q) - c(q)
   p(q) = 1.00q - 300
. . . . . . slope-intercept form

d)
The equation in part (c) is already in slope-intercept form.
   q - p = 300
. . . . . . . . . . . . standard form
The slope is the profit contribution from the sale of one cone ($1 per cone).
The intercept is the profit (loss) that results if no cones are sold.

e) With a suitable graphing program either form of the equation can be graphed simply by entering it into the program.
   Slope-intercept form. Plot the intercept (-300) and draw a line with the appropriate slope (1).
   Standard form. It is convenient to actually or virtually convert the equation to intercept form and draw a line through the points (0, -300) and (300, 0) where q is on the horizontal axis.

f) Of the three equations created, we presume the one of interest is the profit equation. Its domain is all non-negative values of q. Its range is all values of p that are -300 or more.

g) The x-intercept identified in part (e) is (300, 0). You need to sell 300 cones to break even.

h) Profit numbers are
   425 cones: $125 profit
   550 cones: $250 profit
   700 cones: $400 profit

A box contains orange balls and green balls. the number of green balls is 10 more than 2 times the number of orange balls. if th
vichka [17]

Answer:

52 green, 15 orange-Please mark brainliest hope this helped!

Step-by-step explanation:

g + o = 67   g = green, o = orange, x = total

g = 3o + 7

use substitution: (3o + 7) + o = 67

solve for o:

4o + 7 = 67

4o = 60

o = 60/4 = 15

solve for g:

g + 15 = 67

g = 52
