Answer:

$732

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

y \to profit

x \to widgets

y = -x^2 + 64x - 292

Required

The maximum profit

First, we calculate the maximum amount of widgets that can be sold using:

x = -\frac{b}{2a}

Where:

a = -1; b = 64; x = -292

So, we have:

x = -\frac{64}{2 * -1}

x = -\frac{64}{-2}

x = -(-32)

x = 32

The maximum profit is:

y = -x^2 + 64x - 292

y = -(32)^2 + 64 * 32 - 292

Using a calculator, we have:

y = 732

nevsk [136]

88/8=11.

So multiply 4 by 11.

4x11=44

So the ratio is 88:44.

There are 44 girls at the dance
