Answer:
- 0.8
Step-by-step explanation:
The first thing we want to do here is simplify the expression -
( 2x + 5 ) - 2x, Distribute the "
" to elements within the parenthesis
=
2x +
5 - 2x, Focus on simplifying the expression "
2x +
5 "
=
- 2x
=
- 2x, Combine fractions
=
+ 3
=
x + 3
So we have our simplified expression "
x + 3, " with
being the coefficient of x. Our requirements are that this fraction should be expressed as a decimal, so we can simply divide the numerator by the denominator to figure that out,
- 4 / 5 = - 0.8,
Solution = - 0.8
We know that:
Profit = Revenue - Cost
Let us say x number of candies are made per week.
Finding Cost per week:
Cost of making 1 bar = 0.15
Cost of making x bars = 0.15x
Fixed rate of making candies per week = 600
Total cost of making x candies per week = 600 + 0.15x
Now let us find Revenue:
Selling price of each bar = 1.50
Selling price of x bars = 1.50x
Now we have to find profit,
Profit = Revenue - Cost
In order to have profit Revenue - Cost >0
So plugging values of revenue and cost to get number of candies,




x>444.44
Rounding off
x>444
Answer: The company must sell greater than 444 candies in order to make profit.
