let l = lance, and a = alex.
so: l + a = 70
and l = 4a
Putting the value for l in the first equation:
4a +a = 70
5a = 70
a = 14.
So Alex has 14 pencils. And Lance has (70-14) 56 pencils.
And if each child gets half of Alex' pencils, then each child will have 7 pencils.
Answer: 262,000? I'm just guessing
Step-by-step explanation:
one product costs $14 to produce. It is mentioned that you need to produce 14,000 products or items, so you multiply 14 by 14,000 to know the total cost of producing 14,000 items or products, the answer is 196,000, remember there is also a start-up cost of 66,000. So you must add 196,000 to 66,000 which leads to 262,000. Hope this helps :)
