Answer:
360
Step-by-step explanation:
Sam obtains a "contribution margin" of $0.50 -0.25 = $0.25 per cookie. That will cover the cost of baking supplies when he sells ...
$90 / ($0.25/cookie) = 360 cookies
Sam needs to sell 360 cookies before he can start making a profit.
_____
If you like, you can find Sam's break-even point by equating revenue and cost. The is the number of cookies Sam must sell for a profit of 0, that is, for non-negative profit.
P = R - C
0 = R - C
R = C
0.50n = 90 +0.25n
0.25n = 90 . . . . subtract 0.25n
n = 90/0.25 = 360 . . . .divide by the coefficient of n
You may notice this is similar to our description above.
Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
Substitute n for 3
A(n) = 3/2(-2)^(n-1)
A(3) = 3/2(-2)^(3-1)
A(3) = 3/2(-2)²
A(3) = 3/2(4)
A(3) = 12/2
A(3) = 6
it would be 9.93300
so 3 decimal places because the zeros don't count
The roots are 3 and 17 so the distributed equation is
(x-3)(x-17)
distribute
x²-3x-17x+51
x²-20x+51
I hope I've helped!
