The quantity demanded x each month of Russo Espresso Makers is 250 when the unit price p is $138. The quantity demanded each mon

Stells [14]

Answer:

(a) $D(q)=\frac{-1}{25} q+148$

(b) $S(q)=\frac{1}{50}q+58$

(c) $p_{*} =88\\\\q_{*} =1500$

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) For the demand equation D(q) we have

P1: 138 Q1: 250

P2: 108 Q2: 1000

We can find m, which is the slope of the demand equation,

$m=\frac{p_{2} -p_{1} }{q_{2} -q_{1} }=\frac{108-38}{1000-250} =\frac{-30}{750}=\frac{-1}{25}$

and then we find b, which is the point where the curve intersects the y axis.

We can do it by plugging one point and the slope into the line equation form:

$y=mx+b\\\\D(q)=mq+b\\\\138=\frac{-1}{25}(250) +b\\\\138=-10+b\\\\138+10=b=148$

With b: 148 and m: -1/25 we can write our demand equation D(q)

$D(q)=\frac{-1}{25} q+148$

(b) to find the supply equation S(q) we have

P1: 102 Q1: 2200

P2: 102 Q2: 700

Similarly we find m, and b

$m=\frac{p_{2} -p_{1} }{q_{2} -q_{1} }=\frac{72-102}{700-2200} =\frac{-30}{-1500}=\frac{1}{50}$

$y=mx+b\\\\D(q)=mq+b\\\\72=\frac{1}{50}(700) +b\\\\72=14+b\\\\72-14=b=58\\$

And we can write our Supply equation S(q):

$S(q)=\frac{1}{50}q+58$

(c) Now we may find the equilibrium quantity q* and the equilibrium price p* by writing D(q)=S(q), which means the demand equals the supply in equilibrium:

$D(q)=S(q)\\\\\frac{-1}{25}q+148=\frac{1}{50}q+58\\\\$

$148-58=\frac{1q}{50} +\frac{1q}{25} \\\\90= \frac{1q}{50} +\frac{2q}{50}\\\\90=\frac{3q}{50}\\ \\q=1500\\\\$

We plug 1500 as q into any equation, in this case S(q) and we get:

$S(q)=\frac{1}{50}q+58\\\\S(1500)=\frac{1}{50}(1500)+58\\\\S(1500)=30+58\\\\S(1500)=88$

Which is the equilibrium price p*.

The course grade in a statistics class is the average of the scores on five examinations. Suppose that a student's scores on the

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

84 is the highest possible course average

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of examinations = 5

Average = sum of scores in each examination/total number of examinations

Let the score for the last examination be x.

Average = (66+78+94+83+x)/5 = y

5y = 321+x

x = 5y -321

If y = 6, x = 5×6 -321 =-291.the student cannot score -291

If y = 80, x = 5×80 -321 =79.he can still score higher

If If y = 84, x = 5×84 -321 =99.This would be the highest possible course average after the last examination.

If y= 100

The average cannot be 100 as student cannot score 179(maximum score is 100)

Aiden owns a food truck that sells tacos and burritos. He sells each taco for $4.75 and each burrito for $7. Yesterday Aiden mad

nevsk [136]

Number of tacos sold is 65 and number of burritos sold is 40

<h3>Solution:</h3>

Given that Aiden sells each taco for $4.75 and each burrito for $7

Let the number of tacos sold be "t" and number of burritos sold be "b"

Given that Aiden sold 25 more tacos than burritos

t = b + 25 ---- eqn 1

Also given that yesterday Aiden made a total of $588.75 in revenue

number of tacos sold x cost of each tacos + number of burritos sold x cost of each burritos = 588.75

$t \times 4.75 + b \times 7 = 588.75$

4.75t + 7b = 588.75 ----- eqn 2

Substitute eqn 1 in eqn 2

4.75(b + 25) + 7b = 588.75

4.75b + 118.75 + 7b = 588.75

11.75b = 470

b = 40

Substitute b = 40 in eqn 1

t = 40 + 25

t = 65

Thus the number of tacos sold is 65 and number of burritos sold is 40
