Answer:
The student's overall grade is 85.79%
Step-by-step explanation:
Given in the question that:
Exam = 50%; Quiz = 30%, Home work = 15% and Class participation = 5%
The total giving us 100%.
A particular student scored the following;
87.9% on exams, 77.8% quiz, 90% Home work and 100% on class participation
Calculating the percentages the student had for each;
Exam total = 50*0.879 = 43.95% earned
Quiz = 30*0.778 = 23.34% earned
Home work = 15*0.9 = 13.5% earned
Class participation = 5*1 = 5% earned
Total earned = 43.95+ 23.34 + 13.5+ 5 = 85.79%
Pi/3 is equivalent to 60 degrees, as 2pi is equal to 360 degrees. cos(60) in a triangle yields 1/2, and sin(60) yields (3^(1/2))/2. Thus, -pi/3, or -60 degrees would be a fourth quadrant point on the unit circle and these values would be negative as well, at cos(-pi/3)=-1/2 and sin(-pi/3)=-(3^(1/2))/2
3. .5*60 because .5 represents the 5% and "of" stands for multiplication
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.
