Answer:

The correct answer is - £ 40.5 for 3 large packs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Large pack = 40 tiles £18

Small pack = 28 tiles £14

Special offer = 25% reduction when you buy 3 or more large packs.

Solution:

Following combinations are possible for tom to get the tiles he needs:

1. 3 large packs

40*3 = 120 tiles with 25% discount

cost = 18*3 - 0.25*18*3 = 40.5

2. 4 small packs

28*4 = 112 tiles

cost = 14*4 = 56

3. 2 large packs and 1 small pack

40*2 + 28 = 108 tiles

cost = 18*2 + 14 = 50

4. 1 large pack and 3 small packs

40 + 28*3 = 124 tiles

cost = 18 + 14*3 = 60

Thus, the correct answer is - 1st case with three large packs.

How much it will take for a bag to travel 5 meters across the floor of it is traveling at 1 m/s

tester [92]

Time = $\frac{distance}{speed}$

The distance the bag will travel is 5 meters, and the speed it is traveling at is 1 m/s. Plug these into the formula for time.

$\frac{5 m}{1 m/s}$ = 5 s
5/1 = 5 and the m (meters) cancel out, so you are left with s, seconds.

It will take the bag 5 seconds to travel across the floor.

I need the function for the volume of the box for number 1

rjkz [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a rectanguiar shape like this one is V = L * W * H, where the letters represent Length, Width and Height. Here L is the longest dimension and is 28 - 2x; W is the width and is 22-2x; and finally, x is the height. Thus, the volume of this box must be

V(x) = (28 - 2x)*(22 - 2x)*x

and we want to maximize V(x).

One way of doing that is to graph V(x) and look for any local maximum of the graph. We'd want to determine the value of x for which V(x) is a maximum.

Another way, for those who know some calculus, is to use the first and second derivatives to identify the value of x at which V is at a maximum.

I have provided the function that you requested. If you'd like for us to go all the way to a solution, please repost your question.
