Answer:

x = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that, ray Ray AP bisects angle CAT. It means,

$\angle CAT=\angle CAP+\angle PAT$

Also, $\angle CAP = \angle PAT$

It gives, $\angle CAT=2\angle PAT$

ATQ,

$\angle CAT = 5x+17 \ \text{and}\ \text{PAT}=3x-4$

So,

$5x+17=2(3x-4)\\\\5x+17=6x-8$

Taking like terms together,

$5x-6x=-8-17\\\\-x=-25\\\\x=25$

So, the value of x is 25.

Peter is the owner of a hotel. He has found that when he charges the nightly cost of $139, the average occupancy is 275. In addi

zimovet [89]

Answer:

Without price increase, Cost/night = $119

Average occupancy = 372 The revenue will be 119*372 = $44,268

For every $15 price increase, the occupancy decreases by 25. Therefore with x price increases, The revenue will be $(119 + 15x)*(372 25x)

Cost/night = $119 + 15x Occupancy = 372 - 25x

Answer:

The nightly cost with x $15 price increases is $119 + 15x.
