Set up an equation for each store by multiplying the cost of the basketball by the number of basketballs bought (b) and add the cost of the hoop:

Hoops House: total = 20b + 200

Baller Basement: total = 15b + 250

Now to solve for b, set the two equations equal to each other:

20b + 200 = 15b + 250

Subtract 15b from both sides:

5b + 200 = 250

Subtract 200 from both sides:

5b = 50

Divide both sides by 5:

B = 10

The answer is 10 basketballs

Find the volume of the largest rectangular box in the first octant with three faces in the coordinate planes and one vertex in t

Tresset [83]

Answer: The volume of largest rectangular box is 4.5 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Volume = $xyz$

with subject to $x+2y+3z=9$

So, let $z=\dfrac{9-x-2y}{3}$

So, Volume becomes,

$V=xyz\\\\V=xy(\dfrac{9-x-2y}{3})\\\\V=\dfrac{9xy-x^2y-2xy^2}{3}$

Partially derivative wrt x and y we get that

$9-2x-2y=0\implies 2x+2y=9\\\\and\\\\9-x-4y=0\implies x+4y=9$

By solving these two equations, we get that

$x=3,y=\dfrac{3}{2}$

So, $z=\dfrac{9-x-2y}{3}=\dfrac{9-3-3}{3}=\dfrac{3}{3}=1$

So, Volume of largest rectangular box would be

$xyz=3\times \dfrac{3}{2}\times 1=\dfrac{9}{2}=4.5$

Hence, the volume of largest rectangular box is 4.5 units.
