You’re instructed to prepare for a promotional candle sale you will use to test the popularity of the two redesigned candles. Wi

cks, labor, and other costs add about $1.60 to the cost of each candle.
Suggest a retail price for each candle that will cover costs and allow for some profit. Explain how you determined these prices. It should include specific values derived from your calculations.

Answer:

THE SMALLEST FORMS:

- smallest prism ---> the cube with all sides 2 ==> the volume is 2*2*2 = 8 cm^3

- smallest pyramid number one ---> the pyramid with base sides 2 and the height also 2 ==> the volume is (1/3)*2*2*2 = 8/3 cm^3

- smallest pyramid number two ---> the pyramid with base sides 2 and the lateral sides also 2 ==> the radius of the base is sqrt(2) ==> [pyramid_height]^2 = [lateral_side]^2 - [base_radius]^2 = 2^2 - sqrt(2)^2 = 4 - 2 = 2 ==> pyramid_height = sqrt(2) ==> the volume is (1/3)*2*2*sqrt(2) = 4*sqrt(2)/3 cm^3

- smallest cylinder --> the cylinder of diameter 2 and height also 2 ==> the radius is diameter/2 = 2/2 = 1 ==> the volume is pi*(radius^2)*height = pi*(1^2)*2 = pi*1*2 = 2*pi cm^3

The lesser volume is the volume of the smallest pyramid number two. ==> it's wax cost is approximately 0.0075 * 4 * 1.42 / 3 $ per candle = 0.014 $ per candle ==> the total cost  per candle is approximately 0.014 + 1.6 = 1.614 $ per candle.

THE BIGGEST FORMS:

- biggest prism ---> the cube with all sides 10 ==> the volume is 10*10*10 = 1000 cm^3

- biggest pyramid number one ---> the pyramid with base sides 10 and the height also 10 ==> the volume is (1/3)*10*10*10 = 1000/3 cm^3

- biggest pyramid number two ---> the pyramid with base sides 10 and the lateral sides also 10 ==> the radius of the base is 5*sqrt(2) ==> [pyramid_height]^2 = [lateral_side]^2 - [base_radius]^2 = 10^2 - [5*sqrt(2)]^2 = 100 - 50 = 50 ==> pyramid_height = 5*sqrt(2) ==> the volume is (1/3)*10*10*5*sqrt(2) = 500*sqrt(2)/3 cm^3

- biggest cylinder --> the cylinder of diameter 10 and height also 10 ==> the radius is diameter/2 = 10/2 = 5 ==> the volume is pi*(radius^2)*height = pi*(5^2)*10 = pi*25*10 = 250*pi cm^3

The bigger volume is the volume of the biggest prism (the side-10 cube). ==> it's wax cost is  0.0075 * 1000 $ per candle = 7.5 $ per candle ==> the total cost per candle is 7.5 + 1.6 = 9.1 $ per candle

The range of the cost is the interval [1.614 ; 9.1]. Depending on other prices on the market,  you greed, and other factors you will put a profit margin: maybe 20% of the cost ; maybe a fixed margin like 5$. So the price per candle will be the cost per candle plus the profit margin per candle.

If I were to choose the base length I would have to say 6 because it is the arithmetic mean between 2 and 10: (2+10)/2 = 12/2 = 6. 2cm is too small, and 10cm is too big.

Also if you start with a rectangle of length 10 and width 2 and you have to find the rectangle with the largest area by being allowed to increase the width and decrease the width with the same quantity you get this:

Area of the new rectangle is (10-x)(2+x) = -x^2 + 8x + 20 = -x^2 + 8x -16 + 36 = -(x^2 - 2*x*4 + 4^2) + 36 = -(x-4)^2 + 36 = 36 - (x-4)^2 which has the maximum value of 36 because out of 36 you subtract a positive value. You get the maximum when (x-4)^2 = 0 ==> x-4=0 ==> x=4

The new length is 10-4=6 and the new width is 2+4=6.

Next I would choose the height of the prism (I like prisms :P) to be [the_golden_ratio]*[base_side] which is approximately 1.618 * 6 = 9.708 which I would round up to 10. ==> The volume would be 6*6*10 = 360 cm^3. ==> the cost would be 0.0075*360 + 1.6 = 2.7 + 1.6 = 4.3 $ per candle. And because my candle is so perfect I'd put the profit margin to be 5.69 $ per candle so I can proudly show it in the store with the price of 4.3 + 5.69 = 9.99 $ :)

A bank says you can do or your money in 10 years if you put 1000 in in a simple interest account.What annual interest rate does
devlian [24]

Answer:

r=10\%

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The correct question is</em></u>

A bank says you can double your money in 10 years if you put $1,000 in a simple interest account. What annual interest rate does the bank pay?

we know that

The simple interest formula is equal to

A=P(1+rt)

where

A is the Final Investment Value

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested

r is the rate of interest  

t is Number of Time Periods

in this problem we have

t=10\ years\\ P=\$1,000\\ A=\$2,000\\r=?

substitute in the formula above

2,000=1,000(1+10r)

Solve for r

Divide by 1,000 both sides

2=1+10r

Subtract 1 both sides

10r=2-1

10r=1

Divide by 10 both sides

r=1/10

r=0.10

Convert to percentage (multiply by 100)

r=0.10*100=10\%

vfiekz [6]
<span>At a corner gas station, the revenue R varies directly with the number g of gallons of gasoline sold. If the revenue is $44.50 when the number of gallons sold is 10, find a linear equation that relates revenue R to the number g of gallons of gasoline. Then find the revenue R when the number of gallons of gasoline sold is 15.5.

Solution:
As the question mentioned the direct relationship between the quantities, hence 
10 gallons of gasoline sold =  $44.50
15.5 gallons of gasoline sold = $x
by cross multiplication, we get that
10x = 15.5 * 44.50
which implies that
x = 68.975
Thus by $</span>68.975 revenue is obtained by selling 15.5 gallons of gasoline.

Please answer ASAP, thank you!
Mkey [24]

Answer:

1) a = 110

2) b = 65

3) c = 115 d= 65 e = 115

How I found the last one?

The whole thing equals 360.

d is equal to 65 so I added those together.

That equals 130. So i subtracted that from 360.

I got 230. Next, I divided that by 2 to get the final 2 angles.
