Supplier A: 5.25 per bushel and deliver fee of 3 per bushel
Supplier B: 6.50 per busher and flat delivery fee of $1500 each week
500 bushels of grain each week.
Supplier A: 5.25x + 3x = 5.25(500) + 3(500) = 2,625 + 1,500 = 4,125
Supplier B: 6.50x + 1500 = 6.50(500) + 1500 = 3,250 + 1,500 = 4,750
Supplier B would cost more if the company buys 500 bushels of grain per week.
|PR| = |PQ| + |QR|; |PQ| = |QR| conclusion |PR| = 2|PQ|
|PQ| = 3y; |PR| = 42; |QR|=?
subtitute
42 = 2(3y)
6y = 42 |divide both sides by 6
y = 7
|QR| = 3(7) = 21
