A small publishing company is planning to publish a new book. The production costs will include one-time fixed costs (such as ed

iting) and variable costs (such as printing). The one-time fixed costs will total $53,533. The variable costs will be $12.50 per book. The publisher will sell the finished product to bookstores at a price of $24.25 per book. How many books must the publisher produce and sell so that the production costs will equal the money from sales?

Answer:

  4,556

Step-by-step explanation:

Revenue from the sale of n books is ...

  R = 24.25n

Production cost for n books is ...

  C = 53533 +12.50n

These are equal for ...

  24.25n = 53533 +12.50n

  11.75n = 53533

  n = 53533/11.75 = 4556

The publisher must produce 4556 books so sales will equal production cost.

The equations in this sytem were added to solve for x. What is the value of x?
son4ous [18]

<em><u>Question:</u></em>

The equations in this system were added to solve for x. What is the value of x? -2x+y=8 5x-y=-5 3x=3

Options:

x = negative 3

x = negative 1

x = 1

x = 3

<em><u>Answer:</u></em>

The value of x is 1

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

<em><u>Given system of equations are:</u></em>

-2x + y = 8 ------- eqn 1

5x - y = -5 ------- eqn 2

The above equations are added to solve for "x"

Add eqn 1 and eqn 2

-2x + y + 5x - y = 8 - 5

Combine the like terms

-2x + 5x + y - y = 3

Add the like terms

3x + 0 = 3

3x = 3

Divide both sides of equation by 3

x = 1

Thus the value of x is 1

Answer:

Height of the cliff = 13.66 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of the cliff is 'x' m and distance between the base of the cliff and the boat is 'y' m.

From right triangle AOC,

tan 30° = \frac{\text{Opposite triangle}}{\text{Adjacent side}}

\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{x}{y}

y = x\sqrt{3} ------(1)

From right angle triangle BOC,

tan 45° = \frac{x}{y-10}

1=\frac{x}{y-10}

x = y - 10

y = x + 10 -------(2)

From equations (1) and (2),

x\sqrt{3}=x+10

x(\sqrt{3}-1)=10

x=\frac{10}{\sqrt{3}-1 }

x = 13.66 m

Therefore, height of the cliff is 13.66 m.

A cell phone company
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

C = 20 + 0.001x

C = $20 + $0.001x

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of minutes spent talking on the phone.

Given;

Fixed monthly charge F = $20

Charge per 10 minutes V = $0.01

Charge per minute = V/10 = $0.01/10 = $0.001

The equation to model the cost of a monthly cell phone bill;

Total cost = fixed cost + variable cost

C = F + (V/10)x

Substituting the values;

C = 20 + 0.001x

Leona [35]

Answer: Discounted function will be

C(x)=6750+150t

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Initial cost of solar energy = $9000

Average annual cost of heating a home with solar energy = $200

Rate of discount he received on the total cost = 25%

Let the number of year will be t

According to question, we need to write a discounted cost as a function of number of years.

So, our function becomes,

C(x)=\frac{100-25}{100}(9000+200t)\\\\C(x)=\frac{75}{100}(9000+200t)\\\\C(x)=0.75(9000+200t)\\\\C(x)=9000\times 0.75+200\times 0.75t\\\\C(x)=6750+150t

Hence, discounted function will be

C(x)=6750+150t
