Answer:
Add the 4/1 2 and the 2/1 4 and then sutrat 3/8
Answer:
1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
opposite reciprocal
Let after n week both tanks have same quantity of water .
for first tank
=============
tank hold 540 gallon of water ,
leaking of water 4 gallon /week
so, in n week water leak from the tank =4× n = 4n
now, after n week quantity of water in the tank = 540 -4n
for second tank
==============
quantity of water in the tank =720 gallon
leaking of water at the rate = 7gallon/week
so, after n week water leak from the tank = 7× n =7n
after n week quantity of water rest in the tank = 720 -7n
now ,
according to question ,
water in first tank = water in second tank
540 -4n = 720 -7n
7n -4n = 720 -540
3n = 180
n = 60
hence , after 60 week both tank have same quantity of water.
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.
