Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The profit function is:
Where
P is the profit
and
d is the number of units sold
Now, there is a 50% increase in number of units sold, so d will become:
50% = 50/100 = 0.5
d + 0.5d = 1.5d
So, we have to replace "d" with "1.5d" in the function, which makes it:
From the equations shown, last answer choice is correct.
Answer:
D. (4, 5)
General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Pre-Algebra</u>
- Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
- Equality Properties
<u>Algebra I</u>
- Solving systems of equations using substitution/elimination
- Solving systems of equations by graphing
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define systems</u>
y = x + 1
y = 1/2x + 3
<u>Step 2: Solve for</u><u><em> x</em></u>
- Substitute in <em>y</em>: x + 1 = 1/2x + 3
- Subtract 1/2x on both sides: 1/2x + 1 = 3
- Subtract 1 on both sides: 1/2x = 2
- Divide both sides by 1/2: x = 4
<u>Step 3: Solve for </u><em><u>y</u></em>
- Define original equation: y = x + 1
- Substitute in <em>x</em>: y = 4 + 1
- Add: y = 5
<u>Step 4: Graph</u>
<em>We can confirm our answer.</em>
So basically, the first question after the word problem is asking you to write an equation to represent the value of Mama's car after a certain amount of years (t). Since the value of her car decreases by 3% each year, you could multiply 3% by the original value of her car, to find what 3% is, OR you could subtract 19,400 (the value of her car after 1 year) from 20,000 INSTEAD of multiplying 20,000 by 3%.
Equation: value=20,000 - 600t
To answer the next question, just plug it into the equation you created.
500<20,000 - 600t
-19500< -600t
32.5>t
Final Answer: It would take at least 32 and 1/2 years for the value of Mama's car to be less than $500.
Hope this helps!! :)
