P= M÷T , Price equals money raised divided by number of tickets sold
In order to solve this, you need to put it into a fraction form.
First for every 225 employees there's 27 supervisors.
25 x
___ = ___
225 252
I got the 252 by adding 225+27(who are the new employees)
So then you need to cross multiply. And get them to equal the same number.
So 25×252= 6,300
Then Divide 6,300 by the old denominator 225.
6,300÷225= 28 new employees
Therefore there will be a total of 28 employees.
Hope this helped!
2/3 of the list = 12
2/3x = 12
x = 12 / (2/3)
x = 12 * 3/2
x = 36/2
x = 18 <=== there are 18 words on the list
You can only cut down a integer number of trees. So you might look at a few integer values for x. As x get large the –x4 term dominates the expression for big losses. x = 0 is easy P(x) = -6. Without cutting any trees you have lost money Put x = 1 and you get for the terms in order -1 + 1 + 7 -1 -6 = 0. So P(x) crosses zero just before you cut the first tree. So you make a profit on only 1 tree. However when x=10 you are back into no profit. So compute a few values for x = 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9.
