A fair rents a thrill ride for $3000. It cost $4 to purchase a token for the ride. Write and solve an inequality to determine th

e number of rides tokens that can be sold for the fair to make a profit of at least $750. Big Ideas Math is saying that x greater than or equal to 937.5 is wrong.

Answer:

938

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Amount spent by fair on thrill. Ride = $3000

Cost per token of thrill ride = $4

For the fair to make a profit of atleast $750

Then it must realize : (cost of thrill ride + $750) = ($3000 + $750) = $3750

Therefore ;

Cost per token * number of rise tokens ≥ $3750

Let number of ride tokens = x

4x ≥ 3750

4x/4 ≥ 3750/4

x ≥ 937.5

Hence, number of tokens that must be sold = 938

Answer:

The shop can cut the cost of production per sandwich to $3.75. The revenue function would then be defined as R(x)=9x.

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to make as big profit as possible by making as little sandwiches as possible. This means that we want the profit, which is $revenue- production\: cost$ to be as big as possible.

For the first choice the profit per sandwich is $8.25-4=4.25$ dollars.

For the second choice the profit per sandwich is $9-3.75=5.25$ dollars.

For the third choice the profit per sandwich is $8.5-3.5=5$ dollars.

We see here that for the second choice the profit is greatest, therefore this choice is most suitably correct.

Which of the following are solutions to the equation below?

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

$\mathrm{The\:solutions\:to\:the\:quadratic\:equation\:are:}$

$x=3,\:x=-\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

considering the equation

$2x^2\:-\:4x\:-\:3\:=\:x$

solving

$2x^2\:-\:4x\:-\:3\:=\:x$

$2x^2-4x-3-x=x-x$

$2x^2-5x-3=0$

$\mathrm{For\:a\:quadratic\:equation\:of\:the\:form\:}ax^2+bx+c=0\mathrm{\:the\:solutions\:are\:}$

$x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

$\mathrm{For\:}\quad a=2,\:b=-5,\:c=-3:\quad x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-\left(-5\right)\pm \sqrt{\left(-5\right)^2-4\cdot \:2\left(-3\right)}}{2\cdot \:2}$

solving

$x=\frac{-\left(-5\right)+\sqrt{\left(-5\right)^2-4\cdot \:2\left(-3\right)}}{2\cdot \:2}$

$x=\frac{5+\sqrt{\left(-5\right)^2+4\cdot \:2\cdot \:3}}{2\cdot \:2}$

$x=\frac{5+\sqrt{49}}{2\cdot \:2}$

$x=\frac{5+7}{4}$

$x=3$

also solving

$x=\frac{-\left(-5\right)-\sqrt{\left(-5\right)^2-4\cdot \:2\left(-3\right)}}{2\cdot \:2}$

$x=\frac{5-\sqrt{\left(-5\right)^2+4\cdot \:2\cdot \:3}}{2\cdot \:2}$

$x=\frac{5-\sqrt{49}}{4}$

$x=-\frac{2}{4}$

$x=-\frac{1}{2}$

Therefore,

$\mathrm{The\:solutions\:to\:the\:quadratic\:equation\:are:}$

$x=3,\:x=-\frac{1}{2}$
