Answer:
Both the metric system and the US monetary system are based on the system of tens.
Explanation:
The metric system is based on the meter, which is divided into 100 centimeters, while the US monetary system is based on the dollar that is divided into 100 cents.
Generally speaking all Americans and most US organizations use the Imperial System (along with Liberia and Myanmar), while the rest of the world uses the metric system. But some American organizations use the metric system also, like the military and many financial institutions, specially those that export or trade with commodities.
What s really intriguing about this, is that the metric system is the official measuring system of the US since 1866, but it hasn't been massively applied yet.
Answer:
Explanation:
A point on U=800 is (5, 16)
From BL:
400*F+100D =4000
400*5+100*16 =3600<4000
Therefore u = 800 affordable.
U= 1200
F = 1200/10D
If D = 20
F = 1200/200
=6
Now from BL:
400*6+100*20= 2400+2000=4400>4000
Not affordable.
Maximization:
L = 10DF+ʎ[100*D+400*F – 4000]
Differentiating wrt D and F:
dL/dD = 10F + ʎ*100
dL/dF = 10D +ʎ*400
equating to zero;
ʎ= -F/10
ʎ=-D/40
equating the two:
F/10=D/40
D = 4F
From BL:
400*F+100*D = 4000
400F+100*4F = 4000
800F = 4000
F = 5
D = 4*5=20
