There are 431 females
785-77=708
708/2=354
354=males
354+77=431
431=females
to check work do 431=354 and that equals 785
Solution :
Demand for cola : 100 – 34x + 5y
Demand for cola : 50 + 3x – 16y
Therefore, total revenue :
x(100 – 34x + 5y) + y(50 + 3x – 16y)
R(x,y) = 

In order to maximize the revenue, set



.............(i)


.............(ii)
Solving (i) and (ii),
4 x (i) ⇒ 272x - 32y = 400
(ii) ⇒ (-<u>) 8x - 32y = -50 </u>
264x = 450
∴ 

So, x ≈ $ 1.70 and y = $ 1.99
R(1.70, 1.99) = $ 134.94
Thus, 1.70 dollars per cola
1.99 dollars per iced ted to maximize the revenue.
Maximum revenue = $ 134.94
Answer: the width of the uniform path is 9 meters.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the width of the uniform path.
A pool measuring 18 meters by 22 meters is surrounded by a path of uniform width. It means that the combined length of the pool and the uniform path is (18 + 2x) meters and the combined width of the pool and the uniform path is (22 + 2x) meters.
If the area of the pool and the path combined is 1440 square meters, it means that
(18 + 2x)(22 + 2x) = 1440
396 + 36x + 44x + 4x² = 1440
4x² + 80x + 396 - 1440 = 0
4x² + 80x - 1044 = 0
Dividing both sides of the equation by 4, it becomes
x² + 20x - 261 = 0
x² + 29x - 9x - 261 = 0
x(x + 29) - 9(x + 29) = 0
x - 9 = 0 or x + 29 = 0
x = 9 or x = 29
Since the width cannot be negative, then x = 9 meters
