Answer:
a/4b = 0.075
Step-by-step explanation:
a = 30% of b
a = 30/100 × b
a = 0.3b
The value of a/4b is calculated as:
= 0.3b/4b
= 0.075
Like terms are terms whose variables are the same. In this case, 7 and 2 have no coefficients therefore are like terms. For example, 7x and 2x would both be like terms because they have the same coefficient which is x.
Answer: a) c(x) = 0.124x + 1.1, b) 13 units
Step-by-step explanation: Revenue function = R(x) = 0.21x
Profit function = p(x) = 0.086 - 1.1
Cost function = c(x) =?
A)
Recall that profit = total revenue - total cost
Hence, total cost = total revenue - profit
c(x) = 0.21x - (0.086x - 1.1)
c(x) = 0.21x - 0.086x + 1.1
c(x) = 0.124x + 1.1
B)
Break even point is the point where total revenue equals total cost
R(x) = c(x)
0.21x = 0.124x + 1.1
0.21x - 0.124x = 1.1
0.086x = 1.1
x = 1.1/0.086
x = 12.79 which is approximately 13 units
You want to isolate x. To accomplish this, add 1.4 to both sides of your eqn.:
x = 7.82 + 1.4 = 9.22 (answer)
