Answer: The company should produce 7 skateboards and 16 rollerskates in order to maximize profit.
Step-by-step explanation: Let the skateboards be represented by s and the rollerskates be represented by r. The available amount of labour is 30 units, and to produce a skateboard requires 2 units of labor while to produce a rollerskate requires 1 unit. This can be expressed as follows;
2s + r = 30 ------(1)
Also there are 40 units of materials available, and to produce a skateboard requires 1 unit while a rollerskate requires 2 units. This too can be expressed as follows;
s + 2r = 40 ------(2)
With the pair of simultaneous equations we can now solve for both variables by using the substitution method as follows;
In equation (1), let r = 30 - 2s
Substitute for r into equation (2)
s + 2(30 - 2s) = 40
s + 60 - 4s = 40
Collect like terms,
s - 4s = 40 - 60
-3s = -20
Divide both sides of the equation by -3
s = 6.67
(Rounded up to the nearest whole number, s = 7)
Substitute for the value of s into equation (1)
2s + r = 30
2(7) + r = 30
14 + r = 30
Subtract 14 from both sides of the equation
r = 16
Therefore in order to maximize profit, the company should produce 7 skateboards and 16 rollerskates.
Answer:
First, calculate 18% of 23.
23 x 0.18 = 4.14
Then, add this value (the increase) to the original value of 23.
23 + 4.14 = 27.14
Rounding off, we get 27.
Step-by-step explanation:
First we will change them on the same denominator which will be 12. If we do something to the denominator we must do the same to the numerator so :
For 1/3 we get 4/12 because (1/3)*4 = 4/12
And for 2/3 we get 8/12 because (2/3)*4 = 8/12
So 1/3 is the smaller fraction, 7/12 is in the middle and 2/3 is the bigger fraction.
Use PEMDAS. Division comes before addition. start with 9/25 ÷ 18/15. You will divide those like you would normally divide a fraction, so yes, do the inverse of 18/15 and multiply that by 9/25. after you've done that, take that answer and add the 5/8 to it.

Answer:
4 quart of mayonnaise
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: The special sauce made with 1:1 ratio of ketchup to mayonnaise.
It means 1 quart of ketchup to 1 quart of mayonnaise.
Step 2: To make 4 quart of sauce.
They need 4 quart of ketchup and 4 quart of mayonnaise.
Therefore, the answer is 4 quart of mayonnaise.
