A company has determined that its maximum profit occurs when it sells 10,000units per month. For every 1,000 units more or less

seropon [69]

Answer:

B. 5 |q−10| =35

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:

let's try to understand the problem clearly.

In this question, we asked to calculate the number units which that company produces so that it's profit is decreased from the maximum profit.

We know that, for 10000 units = company will get maximum profit.

Any value less than or greater than 10000 units will decrease the profit.

and we also know that,

For every 1000 units profit is decreased by $5000.

So if maximum profit is at 10000 units,

Then at 9000 units = it will have profit decreased by 5000 from the maximum

if q = 11000 then profit = Maximum - 5000

But we are asked to calculate the profit decrease of $35000 from the maximum.

it means we need 5000 decreased by 7 times = 10000 + 7000 = 17000 units

So, if company produces 17000 units,

profit will be decreased by 5(7000) = 35000

Finally,

B. is the only equation which satisfies this condition.

B. 5 (q-10) = 35

(q-10) = 7

q = 10 + 7 = 17

q = 17000 units

Hence, for 17000 units, company's profit will decrease $35000 from the maximum profit.

The state of New Jersey makes approximately $1.55 billion annually from tolls of the $1.55 billion about 3/4 comes from tolls on

Rama09 [41]

Percent of turn pike is 75% and percent of parkway is 25%.

<u>Solution:</u>

Given, The state of New Jersey makes approximately $1.55 billion annually from tolls of the $1.55 billion

About $\frac{3}{4}$ comes from tolls on the turnpike

Remaining $\frac{1}{4}$ comes from tolls on the parkway

<em><u>To find the percent of the total revenue from turnpike:</u></em>

$\begin{array}{l}{\text { Percent of turnpike }=\frac{\text { amount from parkway }}{\text { total revenue }} \times 100} \\\\ {=\frac{\frac{3}{4} \text { of total revenue }}{\text { tot al revenue }} \times 100} \\\\ {=\frac{\frac{3}{4} \times \text { total revenue }}{\text { total revenue }} \times 100} \\\\ {=\frac{3}{4} \times 100=3 \times 25=75 \%}\end{array}$

<em><u>To find the percent of the total revenue from parkway:</u></em>

$\begin{array}{l}{\text { Percent of parkway }=\frac{\text { amount from parkway }}{\text { total revenue }} \times 100} \\\\ {=\frac{\frac{1}{4} \text { of total revenue }}{\text { total revenue }} \times 100} \\\\ {=\frac{\frac{1}{4} \times \text { total revenue}}{\text { total revenue }} \times 100} \\\\ {=\frac{1}{4} \times 100=25 \%}\end{array}$

<em><u>Summarizing the results:</u></em>

Percent of turn pike is 75%

Percent of parkway is 25%
